i was both saddened and angered that the Sandinistas have reduced themselves to this:

Nicaragua has approved a sweeping new law banning abortions, even in cases where the mother's life is at risk.

Left-wing Sandinistas in parliament supported the bill for fear of alienating Roman Catholic voters before the election, correspondents said.
