Ecuador abortion: President Correa threatens to resign [View all]
Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa has said he will resign if the National Assembly decriminalises abortion as part of a reform of the Penal Code.
Mr Correa, whose term ends in 2017, described himself as a "left-wing, humanist, Roman Catholic".
He said members of his own governing alliance have been pushing for the change.
"They can do whatever they want. I will never approve the decriminalisation of abortion," he said.
