"Judith Marin, 30, was once ejected from Chile's senate by police for screaming return to the Lord during a vote to decriminalise abortion under restricted circumstances. She is an evangelical former student church group president who belonged to the Eagles of Jesus, a far-right Christian group which recruits at universities around the country. Marin has publicly questioned the future of the ministry she will now lead, and defended the natural family the idea that a man and woman head a household."
"Since 2017, abortion in Chile has been decriminalised in three specific cases: if the mother's life is at risk, if the pregnancy was the result of rape, or if the foetus will not survive. Chile's congress is debating a bill presented last year by the outgoing president, Gabriel Boric, which would decriminalise abortion in any circumstances up to the 14th week of a pregnancy."
Judith Marin, 30, has been named Chile's minister for women and gender equality and is a firm opponent of abortion who supports life from conception to natural death. She is an evangelical and former student church group president who belonged to the Eagles of Jesus and was once ejected from the senate for shouting during a decriminalisation vote. Marin has questioned the ministry's future and defended the natural family as central to society. President José Antonio Kast, a Catholic and opponent of abortion, appointed a cabinet presented as a response to a national emergency. Chile allows abortion in three narrow cases while congress debates a bill to permit abortion up to 14 weeks.
