The Legal Status Of Abortion Worldwide (infographic)

Argentina became both the largest Latin American country and the third South American country to legalize abortion

Newsroom January 5 09:21

Last week, Argentina became both the largest Latin American country and the third South American country to legalize abortion. The Senate approved the change in the law with 38 votes in favor, 29 against, and one abstention. That occurred despite opposition from the Catholic church and the change represents a considerable milestone in a highly conservative region.
