Abortion in Argentina became legal up to the 14th week of pregnancy since 24 January 2021, after the corresponding bill was passed by the National Congress in December 2020. Once the 14th week has passed, abortion is legal only in cases of rape or if the mother's health is in danger. According to this law, any woman can request the procedure at any public or private health facility. Doctors are legally bound to either perform it or, if they are conscientious objectors, refer the patient to another physician or health facility. Only three other Latin American countries had previously legalised abortion on request: Cuba in 1965, Guyana in 1995 and Uruguay in 2012. According to polling in 2020, around 41% of Argentinians support the legalization of abortion on request. Others polls showed 50-60% of Argentinians opposed the bill.
