NewzChilean President José Antonio Kast announced on Monday that his administration will not support a legislative proposal introduced by members of his own coalition. The bill sought to mandate that women seeking a legal abortion must first listen to the fetal heartbeat as a condition for the procedure.
By distancing his government from the initiative, Kast has signaled a shift in the legislative agenda regarding reproductive rights. The decision effectively halts the advancement of a measure that had been proposed by his political allies, preventing it from becoming a priority for the current executive branch.
