Fox News Latino | Published August 09, 2016 Buenos Aires, Argentina –  Belén’s life changed overnight. On March 21, 2014 at 3.50 a.m., Belén went to a state hospital in San Miguel de Tucumán, provincial capital in Northern Argentina, suffering abdominal pains and vaginal bleeding. She was then 25-year-old. She says she didn’t know she was 22 weeks pregnant until that moment. Belén was transferred to the gynecology ward. A doctor, she said, discovered she was having a miscarriage. Moments later, the hospital staff found a fetus in a bathroom and claimed it was Belen’s. Human rights activists say there was no physical evidence that she was linked with the contents. “They didn’t analyze the DNA to establish a connection with Belén,” Soledad Deza, her attorney, told Fox News Latino.
