This paper makes a general approach of current social, political and epidemiological characteristics of abortion in Argentina. It describes the legislation that allows Non Punishable Abortion and the obstacles for its enforcement. Moreover, it shows how women are using Pharmacological Abortion and the actions of social movements that advocate legalizing abortion in Argentina. It concludes that Pharmacological Abortion is considered a "safe method" even though it is illegal. Not being common in everyday life, more and more women use it, while legal reforms are awaited that legalize such practice.
