FERNANDEZ-VAZQUEZ, Sandra. Abortion policy in transition: from pre and post abortion counseling to legal interruptions of pregnancy at Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2018, n.43, pp.145-160. ISSN 1886-5887.

In this paper, we analyze the transition from pre and post abortion-counseling model to the implementation of legal interruptions of pregnancy (ILE, for its Spanish initials) in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. Whereas the first model is framed in the paradigm of risk and harm reduction, the implementation of legal interruptions of pregnancy resignifies as a right the cases of non-punishable abortion included at the Argentine Penal Code of 1921, namely: cases of rape and cases of maternal health or life risk. In this paper, we analyze in which context this transition takes place, which factors have contributed and what differences this change of model implies.

Palabras clave : policy abortion; pre and post abortion-counseling; legal interruptions of pregnancy; risk and harm reduction; medical abortion; misoprostol.
