... that the legalization of abortion in Benin was supported by two members of cabinet who had both worked as gynecologists?

Source: [1] [...] they heard shocking testimony from Dr. Véronique Tognifode, the country’s minister of social affairs, about what she had seen during her years working as a gynecologist. [...] The health minister, Benjamin Hounkpatin, who is also an obstetrician-gynecologist, told advocates in 2018 that he was interested in improving access to abortion.

5x expanded by Vigilantcosmicpenguin (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 12 past nominations.

New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. You were coming in one character short of 5x (1364 to 6819), so I made minor text tweaks to ensure it was a 5x. The New York Times source confirms both government ministers were gynecologists. This is an interesting hook fact for sure—one I could see but would never have guessed there were two.
