ABORTO LEGAL YA is a project about the fight for the legalization of abortion and its relationship with the problem of control of pleasure and the female body. An appeal to the ability, freedom and autonomy to decide on our bodies. This project is primarily photographic but it also has audio components, interviews, testimonials, a documentary video, and installations. With more than 70 images and testimonies and more than 15 interviews, "ABORTO LEGAL YA" addresses issues such as the autonomy of the female body, its relationship with patriarchy, economic systems, the idea of property, and the way in which the female body as reproductive receptacle, is the tool and primary thread to sustain the idea of capital. At the same time, it focuses on the role of the State, the health system and the role of the churches within public policies

The thing is, we can't talk about abortion. We can't tell anyone. Not even our friends, our relatives.

People with the ability to gestate leave personal testimonies about their experiences of having abortions. Ana Vidal (49, antropologist) leaves testimony about the enormes difference of having an ilegal abortion compared to a legal one. "This is what a clandestine abortion is about, it scares you and a lot of loneliness because many people are scared, it is something illegal. The issue of illegality, even if they want to help you, they are scared, and they are not as they should. Many years later living in Europe, also an unwanted pregnancy, two months after giving birth to a baby, aborted. This time it is legal. The difference is abysmal. Containment, accompaniment, simplicity, There is no fear and there is no loneliness. You have the memory scar on your body of what happened, but it continues"

SaSa Testa (36, Master in Gender Studies and Policies, Non-binary trans activist). He is part of the short and I intervied him I asked the question : why YES to the legalization of abortion.

One of the main slogans for the legalization of abortion was Aborto legal seguro y gratuito (Legal , safe and free abortion), so every single person could access it regardless of their economic class. "My name is Ana . I had two abortions. One when I was 22, and one when I was 24. In both cases I was dating and I didn't want to have a baby at the time because I thought I was too young. The doctor who performed the abortion got it for me, my father, my family knew and it was not a major issue. The situation of being able to have a baby scared me but it was not something that later caused me or guilt, or pain, or anything. She was not ready to have a child at the time in any way. They both went to the same doctor. It was quite painful physically, but mentally it did not bring me any problems. It was the solution for what had happened to me. Obviously it was clandestine because it is not legal but it was in a certain condition, in an office, in Recoleta, in this man's apartment, with an assistant, as in appropriate conditions, limousines, with a lot of hygiene and with a lot of security around. It was within all a very protected, cared for, safe situation. And with a lot of decision. I had no doubts"

Jazz Sallis ( , Members of the Women's Wheelchair Basketball National Argentinian team ) I asked the question : why YES to the legalization of abortion. These are the responses. Porque decidir sobre nuestros cuerpos nunca más debe causar Vergüenza. Miedo. Muerte / Because deciding on our bodies should never cause shame again. afraid. death

Much of my childhood was trying to enter into what is socially required of a woman in some sense. I am in favor of legal, safe and free abortion, and I believe that if an education is necessary to be able to decide, choose, that the information is as widely available to all people and that it is also true, that there are means and tools, information provided by the State, which is a large institution, which reaches everyone, families, individuals, schools, hospitals, the most vulnerable communities or those with fewer privileges and also the social classes with more privileges so that there is a real awareness. At the age of 14 I had a boyfriend with whom we were not very young and we had started to have sex, and obviously because of not knowing how to take care of ourselves it happened that I got pregnant and we were very young and we knew that that could not be. That was not what we wanted. We do not dare to tell our parents, we told our closest friends and they helped us by raising money. We were still very afraid because we knew it was risky. At that time I just knew that I had to take those pills and also put them in. And it was quite, nothing, it scared me. But let's say, I did it alone at my house. And I think I was very lucky, a lot of privileges. And that not all the people who are in that situation can access such a solution and that everything goes well. In fact, I think that above all, much more risky solutions appear sometimes or at the last minute, for the same reason, for fear, for not knowing, for not having anyone to turn to, because you cannot go to anyone, not even a security guard. nursing to treat you in a way that understands that this to your life."

Elsa Schvartzman, Sociologist specializing in women's health and rights

Karina Bidaseca, sociologist

I identify as a trans person. I am a trans person, not binary. Much of my childhood was trying to get into what is socially required of a woman in some sense. But well, no, no, that wasn't enough for me. I wasn't like that either. I dedicate myself to art, I am in favor of legal, safe and free abortion, and I believe that if an education is necessary to be able to decide, to choose, that the information is as accessible as possible to all people and that they are also certain, that there are means and tools, information provided by the State, which is a great institution, which reaches everyone, families, individuals, schools, hospitals, the most vulnerable or least privileged communities, and also to the social classes with more privileges so that there is a real awareness. At 14 I had a boyfriend with whom we weren't very young and well, we had started having sexual relations, and obviously because of not knowing how to take care of ourselves, because we didn't know about everything, it happened that I got pregnant and we were very young and we knew that it couldn't be. Which was not what we wanted. We didn't dare to tell our parents, we told our closest friends and they helped us by raising money. We were still very scared because we knew it was risky. And I asked for advice and help from a cousin who I knew had already had an abortion. And in the end she didn't, but her sister helped me. She and her boyfriend got me misoprostol. I didn't even know the name. At that time I only knew that I had to take those pills and also stick them. And it was quite a lot, nothing, it scared me. But let's say, I did it alone in my house. As I said that my period had come and that I felt very bad. And nothing to see. Like I had to act it out and well everything happened and at the time I kept it forever in the depths of my being. It is not something that speaks the truth in general. And now that the issue has been more visible for years, that I always think about it, that I was lucky to have people who helped me. In other words, lucky to have people who lent me money, who helped me get it. I had no idea. I blindly trusted only because I couldn't imagine any other possibility but to try. Even if we took the risk, I was very embarrassed, afraid at a family level, I mean with my parents, although they would surely have supported me, after all, they in particular. But, but it is very terrible, like all of them, the pressure, the ghosts that it generates in you. I don't know what they can tell you or what it might imply. And then I feel that this remained in some register of my being, like something that I don't know if not yet, like only now can I process it better. I feel like it was something that got stuck in me. That, that is also something that, what happened, a decision I made because I knew what I wanted. And I think I was very lucky, very privileged. And that not all people who are in that situation can access such a solution and that everything goes well. In fact, I think that above all, much more risky solutions appear sometimes or at the last moment, for the same reason, out of fear, for not knowing, for not having anyone to turn to, because you can't turn to anyone, not even a security guard. nursing to treat you in a way that understands that this to your life.

Thousands of women took to the streets again to make their claim for the legalization of abortion heard before Congress where deputies and senators decide whether to grant that right, in a renewed "green tide", a milestone in the feminist struggle in Argentina.

On February 19, 2020, several feminist groups, including Las Tesis de Chile, mobilized in Buenos Aires and other large cities in Argentina to demand the approval of a deadline law. Women in a row, blindfolded and with green scarves around their necks and wrists, sang for the first time in Santiago de Chile at the end of 2019 the song El violador tú. The choreography of the feminist collective Las Tesis went viral and has since been repeated all over the world. This February 19, Las Tesis led the scarf called by the national campaign for the right to legal, safe and free abortion in Buenos Aires with a version adapted to the Argentine reality. The act marked the beginning of the campaign of Argentine feminism to achieve a law of deadlines that leaves behind the current norm, which punishes pregnant women who voluntarily interrupt their pregnancy with penalties of up to four years in prison, except in cases of rape. or risk to your health.

Parsley, traditionally an unreliable home remedy to induce abortions, became a symbol for the fight for safe and legal abortion, Since 1921, abortion had been legal only when pregnancy threatened the health of the woman, or as a result of rape or an "attack against modesty, committed on an idiot or insane woman" (according to the law). Often not even in these cases the law was respected, and women had to find ilegal options to access abortions.
