Good News: Costa Rica elects its First Female President. Woo!
Bad News: She is, by her own admission, a social conservative who opposes both abortion and gay marriage.
The CBC.ca article about it is particularly sad since it interviews a 24 year old womyn inmate who says she voted for Laura Chinchilla because she said “she would fight for women’s rights”.
I wonder what rights she’s referring to.
In any case, kudos to Costa Rica and other Latin American countries such as Nicaragua, Panama, Chile and Argentina who have recently elected female presidents.
