Argentina used as a ‘testing ground’ for eroding abortion rights, warns Amnesty

Argentina is experimenting with a rollback of abortion rights under President Javier Milei, cutting funding for contraceptives and ending the distribution of abortion pills. This has led to supply shortages in many provinces, creating unsafe conditions for women seeking access. The government's extreme anti-abortion rhetoric has confused legal status for some women, while healthcare providers are refusing to perform terminations due to fear of discrimination or resource constraints. The policy shift is part of a global backlash against women's rights and mirrors Trump-era conservative movements in the U.S. and other countries.
