The stabilization of the abortive use of misoprostol in Argentina (2010-2012)The article analyzes how the posology of misoprostol as an abortion drug stabilized in Argentina between 2010 and 2012, while the practice was illegal, as a result of the articulation and co-production of knowledge among different actors. Based on documents and in-depth interviews, it compares the posology inscription in scientific documents that rendered invisible the experience of women using it clandestinely with materials produced by feminist activism, where the agency of women who terminated their pregnancies was central.
