"Thousands of feminists and activists sent a petition to several Turkish government ministries on Tuesday to protest a bill that would ban abortions beyond the first six weeks of pregnancy.
"To prohibit abortion or introduce limits making it de facto impossible violates women's right to health and life," read the petition, signed by 55,000 people and 900 organizations.
The bill is "a new display of conservative policies that do not regard women as equal" to men, it said.
