Citation formats

In November 2021, a little over half of respondents interviewed in Argentina agreed with the legalization of abortion in any case because they believed it was a woman's choice. Almost 53 percent of the people surveyed identified with this statement. Another 41.7 percent stated abortion should be prohibited because life begins at the moment of conception. When asked about abortion decriminalization in Argentina, most respondents in another survey disagreed with this possibility.
