ZICAVO, Eugenia; ASTORINO, Julieta  y  SAPOROSI, Lucas. Sexual and reproductive rights in argentina: parliamentary projects referred to abortion. Reflexiones [online]. 2015, vol.94, n.2, pp.88-99. ISSN 1659-2859.

This article examines the Congress Bills referred to abortion that currently have parliamentary state in Argentina (a country in which this practice is punishable with imprisonment, barring a few grounds for exemption). The objective is to investigate, analyze and describe some considerations related to human rights and health, two aspects that appear repeatedly in the different projects, which also refer to a dispute over the meaning of current social discourses regarding abortion. From a survey and analysis of public access documents (Congress Bills) the purpose is to put the criminalization/decriminalization debate in a cultural perspective. In order to do that, we compare the different bills, most of which focus on total decriminalization and to a lesser extent in modifications to the current legal abortions. Although there are also projects that aim at strengthening existing restrictions. We analyze, by studying the Congress Bills, the current social discourses relative to abortion, having in mind the conditions for the exercise of sexual and reproductive rights in the country.
