Andorra's parliament is debating a controversial abortion bill that would allow terminations up to 12 weeks of pregnancy, per EWTN News.

The legislation has drawn strong reactions from the Catholic Church, which holds significant influence in the small principality, EWTN News reports.

The debate comes as Andorra continues to grapple with its unique political structure, where a bishop serves as co-prince alongside the French president, Laveulliure notes.
