After many years of activism and advocacy, abortion was ruled as legal by the Argentine Senate in December 2020. Before this ruling, abortion was generally illegal in Argentina, which led to a large underground economy of clandestine abortions. General public opinion toward abortion gradually liberalized in the twenty-first century, ultimately leading to the 2020 ruling.<ref>[https://nacla.org/news/2020/07/08/argentina-abortion-reform-covid Activists Keep Argentina’s Abortion Reform on the Agenda Despite Covid-19]</ref><ref name="cnn_abortionargentina2020>[https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/30/americas/argentina-abortion-senate-vote-intl/index.html Argentina's Senate approves historic bill to legalize abortion]</ref> | |||
