... that the legalization of abortion in Benin was supported by two members of cabinet who had both worked as gynecologists?

Source: [1] [...] they heard shocking testimony from Dr. Véronique Tognifode, the country’s minister of social affairs, about what she had seen during her years working as a gynecologist. [...] The health minister, Benjamin Hounkpatin, who is also an obstetrician-gynecologist, told advocates in 2018 that he was interested in improving access to abortion.

New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. You were coming in one character short of 5x (1364 to 6819), so I made minor text tweaks to ensure it was a 5x. The New York Times source confirms both government ministers were gynecologists. This is an interesting hook fact for sure—one I could see but would never have guessed there were two.
