Amnesty International has raised concerns that Argentina is becoming a testing ground for curtailing abortion rights globally, particularly following the recent shift in government. Under President Javier Milei, the state has discontinued funding for contraception and ceased distribution of abortion pills, previously supplied for free. This change has adversely affected access to abortion services, disproportionately impacting provinces with anti-abortion stances or limited economic resources. Many women are now left to finance their medication, which can be prohibitively expensive, while systemic shortages persist in multiple provinces due to poor pricing negotiations and budget constraints.
Argentina is experiencing significant regression in abortion rights, with funding for contraceptives cut and distribution of abortion pills halted, severely impacting women's access to healthcare.
The handover of responsibility for abortion services to provinces has resulted in widespread shortages of necessary medications, with many women forced to bear the financial burden of purchasing them.
