The Voluntary Pregnancy Intervention (IVE) project was presented to the Executive Branch of Argentina on Monday for debate, as was announced by the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation through an informative note published on its website.

It is an initiative sent by the National Government exposed by the Minister of Women, Gender and Diversity of the Nation, Elisabeth Gómez Alcorta, the head of the National Social Security Administration (ANSES), Fernanda Raverta and the Secretary of the Interior of the Ministry of the Interior, José Lepere.

The Ministers of Health and Social Development, Ginés González García and Daniel Arroyo, together with the Legal and Technical Secretary of the Presidency, Vilma Ibarra, will open the debate this Tuesday, in which they will present about 50 references, 25 in favor and 25 against.

Officials of the National Executive Power will be present at said exhibitions and the final report on the subject is expected on December 4.

The intention of the deputies of the Frente de Todos is to approve the IVE bill in the lower house in the second week of next month and then send it to the Senate. The objective is to ratify the law before the end of the year in the framework of the extraordinary sessions of Congress.

The legal abortion bill is presented for debate in parallel with the Thousand Days Program, which focuses on the analysis of comprehensive health care and care during pregnancy and early childhood.

Gómez Alcorta defined the Thousand Days Program as “a strategic norm that establishes as State policy, by law and from a rights perspective, the priority of comprehensive health care during pregnancy and early childhood.”
