abortion in the State of Coahuila unconstitutional, where, according to a 2017law, illegal abortions were punishable by up to three years in prison. ---- Alawsuit against several provisions of the state penal code was initiated in 2017by the then Mexican Attorney General Raúl Cervantes on the grounds that theyviolated women's autonomy and reproductive freedom.

In 1999, a 13-year-old girl from BajaCalifornia became pregnant as a result of rape, but conservative officials anddoctors tried to dissuade her from abortion, using bureaucratic obstacles . In2000, Mexican feminist groups filed a lawsuit against Mexico with theInter-American Commission on Human Rights.[13][The Commission]found in 2007 that the[Mexican]government had violated itsobligations to ensure women's access to reproductive health services.At the same time, polls conducted in the country as part of a study in 2000showed that 69% of Mexicans agreed that abortion should be allowed under certaincircumstances.In Mexico City, this figure reached 80%.

Previously, Argentina had a 1921 law that allowedabortion only when the mother's health was in danger, as well as in cases ofrape.[15]However, even pregnant women eligible for legal abortion continued to face obstacles.Doctors were free to interpret the law as they saw fit; information on abortionwas difficult to find and women hid abortion stories because the subject remainedtaboo. All of this has led to an increase in the number of clandestine abortions.In 2016 alone, after the complications caused by clandestine abortions, 39,025women were hospitalized , 16% of whom were girls and girls aged 10 to 19.Demands to influence the situation and legalize abortion have been made byfeminists and activists of women's organizations since 2005.
