With 38 votes in favor, 29 against and one abstention, the Argentine Senate approved the legal abortion bill until week 14 that it received from the Chamber of Deputies.

Despite the pandemic, the square in front of the Congress in Buenos Aires erupted with shouts of joy and cheers after the decision, considered the greatest achievement in Argentina for women's rights in the last 70 years.

After decades of struggle, abortion in Argentina is legal, safe and free.

It took two years for the Upper House to repeat a historic vote.

The vote of the undecided senators who on this occasion favored "Yes" was decisive in paving the way for the historic triumph of the Green Tide.

In a burst of euphoria and happiness, the protesters gathered in the square in front of the Congress celebrated the decision.

Thus ends the prison sentences for women who undergo an abortion in the country.

It is estimated that in Argentina hundreds of thousands of clandestine pregnancy interruptions are practiced each year and thousands of pregnancies occur in children under 13 years of age.

This is what some of the senators said for and against the measure at the time of their presentation:

IN FAVOR

Silvina García Larraburru (Frente de Todos - Río Negro- voted against in 2018)

"At this time I understood that, beyond my personal position or my beliefs, we are facing a problem that requires a public policy approach. With this law we make visible something that always happened"

María Eugenia Catalfamo (San Luis Justicialista Front)

"Two years ago, when this law was discussed, I could not be present. I was just a few days away from having my first daughter, a daughter that we want, that we choose to have. I received thousands of messages with insults through the networks social networks and on my cell phone. Even the request that I abort my own daughter. Those messages keep coming in today. "

Roberto Mirabella (Front of All - Santa Fe)

“I am personally against abortion but this does not blind me to a macabre reality.

I consider a Pharisee attitude that of those who uncompromisingly defend embryonic life and do not adopt with the same attitude that of children thrown into misery who roam the streets of our cities "

Silvia Sapag (Neuquén Popular Movement - Neuquén)

"When I was born, women did not vote, we did not inherit, we could not go to university. We could not get divorced, we did not have housewives' retirement. When I was born, women were nobody. I feel emotion for the struggle of all women. who are out now. For all of them, let it be law "

Nancy González (Front of All - Chubut)

"I think they do not want public policies that give women rights. They want us to remain silent, to continue to kill us, to continue dying, to rape us, to rape a minor and to have to give birth because in the Chamber Senators are not approving a bill that gives you rights. Senators, with what face can you force a woman to give birth when that woman does not want it? "

Daniel Lovera (Front of All - La Pampa)

"We can continue to hypocritically deny the reality that thousands of women live or we can guarantee them equal opportunities and full enjoyment of their rights, autonomy, freedom and a dignified life. In a just country girls are not mothers and no one is forced to give birth and maternity against their will "

Ana Claudia Almirón (Front of All - Corrientes)

"Everyone can think what they want, they can vote what they want, what Peronism cannot do is let the underground be cruel to the poor because they cannot pay. Because the rich do pay, they pay it in private clinics with security. and health. This law is social justice "

Lucía Crexell (Federal Interbloque - Neuquén. She abstained in 2018)

"I did not change my personal beliefs. I changed the approach from which it should be approached. It is not about feminism or religion, clandestine abortion is a cause that kills, hurts and writes very sad stories of our country that many still refuse to see"

María Inés Pilatti Vergara (Front of All - Chaco)

"We must de-dramatize abortion and de-romanticize motherhood."

Other [senators] state that it is not the opportunity [for debate] because they are men and they do not have the responsibility to give birth, to raise children, because they do not have the responsibility of the weight that it means to bring a life to the world "

AGAINST

Roberto Basualdo (Production and Labor Front - San Juan)

"This is not the time to give this debate. We are in the middle of a pandemic. There are other priorities. Today all the people who came to demonstrate are put at risk. This law is not going to lead us anywhere, undoubtedly this law will not it serves us "

Maurice Closs (Front of All - Missions)

"I do not feel responsible for any of the deaths that have occurred since 2018 for having voted against and I do not hold anyone who has a green scarf responsible for any murder or homicide. I will vote negatively once again because it is not a priority of public health or a cultural or social change that the missionary, at least, demands "

Víctor Zimmermann (Together for Change - Chaco)

"The project talks about empowering mothers in their right, but it says nothing about the unborn child and we all know that from gestation he is an independent being with DNA and after a few weeks his heart already beats"

Inés Blas (Front of All - Catamarca)

“The right to life is the source and origin of the other rights.

And legislators have the responsibility to comply with the obligation to protect life as established in our Constitution, whose main mandate is to protect it from conception.

The legalization of abortion violates the right to life of the unborn child as a fundamental human right "

Claudio Poggi (Bloque Alcanzar SL - San Luis)

“After this vote, will there continue to be abortions?

Yes And will there be clandestine abortions?

Yes. That is why we have to design public policies for the health of the baby and his mother "

María Belén Tapia (UCR - Santa Cruz)

“The eyes of God are looking at every heart in this place and puts in front of us the conditions for our Nation from today.

Blessing if we value life, curse if we choose to kill innocents.

I don't say it, it says the Bible by which I swore "
