Argentina legal abortion rate stabilizes at 7.45 per 1,000 women

Five years after legalization, Argentina's public health system recorded 87,603 legal abortions in 2025 across 20 provinces, a rate of 7.45 per 1,000 women aged 15-49, indicating stabilization. The data suggests the policy has reached a steady state, though coverage gaps in remaining provinces and underreporting remain uncertain. This matters as a public-health outcome indicator for reproductive policy in a major Latin American economy.
