v t e

A popular consultation to convene a referendum on repealing the law on decriminalization of abortion was held in Uruguay on 23 June 2013. The proposal failed to muster the required popular support.

Events

[edit]

In 2012, Uruguay decriminalized abortion. Many politicians and advocacy groups protested its legalization.^[1] The positions varied across the political spectrum.^[2]

Only 8.92% of eligible voters supported the referendum which did not meet the required threshold.^[3]
