Resumen:
This article presents findings from a study on the implementation of hormonal implants during the last wave of austerity measures in Argentina (2015-2019). Through the lens of ´reproductive governance´, we discuss continuities and changes in policy discourse that justified the provision of implants from 2014, before austerity measures started to be implemented, and after 2015. Using the concept of ´stratified reproduction´ in the light of demographic anxiety, we also observe the key role of health professionals in actually enacting in the clinic key policy changes that characterized pregnancy among poor, young and/or disabled women as a problem to be eradicated.
