Sumario:Objective: this article delineates the modifications introduced to the abortion support system in the city of Neuquén, Argentina, during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Methods: the research employs a methodological design incorporating both qualitative and quantitative elements. It involves the analysis of documents prepared by Socorristas en Red, semi-structured interviews with La Revuelta activists, and the examination of statistical data related to abortion accompaniment within the health system from March to December 2020. Results: during the study period, La Revuelta adjusted a segment of its support apparatus and facilitated 270 abortions within the health system. Conclusion: the article illustrates that the pandemic and associated movement restrictions necessitated prompt adaptations by La Revuelta activists to sustain abortion support services amidst a period of considerable uncertainty.
