After a decades-long fight, an abortion victory in Argentina

In a milestone win, Argentina’s Senate voted to legalise abortion, granting millions of women access to legal elective abortions until the 14th week of pregnancy. We are revisiting an episode we first aired in March to take a deep dive into the decades-long fight to secure abortion rights, and to understand how the green wave movement secured the decriminalisation of abortion in a majority Roman Catholic country and homeland of Pope Francis.

In this episode:

Teresa Bo, Al Jazeera journalist covering Latin America.
