Abstract
This article charts the arguments, strategies, and struggles of the abortion rights movement in Argentina, with special attention to the National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Safe, and Free Abortion. This heterogeneous coalition—widely recognized by its green kerchief—played a key role leading the impressive activist process that culminated with abortion legalization. The law approved by the Argentine Congress in December of 2020 provides for the right to voluntary abortion during the first fourteen weeks of pregnancy and allows for specific legal grounds for abortion after that period (rape or risk to the health or life of the pregnant person). Importantly, before legal reform was achieved, activists had patiently worked to advance the “social decriminalization” of abortion.
