%X this article presents results of the argentine chapter of the hexca research project, on heterosexualities, contraception and abortion in four south american cities. in-depth interviews were conducted with 30 women and 30 men residing in the buenos aires metropolitan area, about their experiences of abortion as a landmark in their personal trajectories. findings show that illegality does not determine the decision to interrupt a pregnancy, but the differential conditions of its clandestine practice; abortion leaves a mark both on women and on men. for low-income women, the first pregnancy results in childbirth, then followed by an abortion; while for middle-class women the first pregnancy results in an abortion, then followed by children. the interruption of a pregnancy is not a response to exceptional situations, but an ordinary part of the process initiated by the suspicion of a pregnancy.
