The last and only official report on the number of abortions was published in 2005, and according to this report, there are around 370,000 to 520,000 both legal and illegal abortions per year in Argentina. Many failed abortion attempts and deaths due to them are not recorded as such and/or are not notified to the authorities. Enforcement of anti-abortion legislation is variable and complex; there are multiple NGOs providing women with help to access drugs that can interrupt pregnancies, as well as doctors who openly perform the procedure. The anti-abortion movement, along with the Catholic Church, has lobbied against the legalization of abortion, and has threatened to take the new abortion law to court.
