Three aspects of biological reproduction were criminalized: abortion and infanticide, as crimes against people, and the abandonment of children, as crimes against personal guarantees. These reforms demonstrated a particular legal status of women; abortion and infanticide were considered crimes that attacked the interests of the State and altered the presumed maternal instinct.This paper analyzes underlying tensions regarding gender issues in the criminal law about the legal concept of abortion and infanticide to show the changes in the relationship between women and the State. We study parliamentary debates, projects and reforms of the criminal legislation, from its first national sanction in 1886 to 1968, when rape was incorporated as a cause of non-punishable abortion and excluded family members as possible perpetrators of infanticide. En Argentina a fines del siglo XIX se produjo una importante racionalización de las prácticas punitivas que tuvo como resultado la formación del nuevo sistema penal moderno.Tres aspectos de la reproducción biológica fueron criminalizados: el aborto y el infanticidio, como delitos contra las personas, y el abandono de niños/as, como delitos contra las garantías individuales. Estas reformas demostraron una situación jurídica particular de las mujeres; el aborto e infanticidio fueron considerados delitos que atacaban los intereses del Estado y desnaturalizaban el presunto instinto maternal.Este trabajo analizará las tensiones genéricas que subyacieron en la legislación penal en torno al aborto e infanticidio, evidenciando los cambios en la relación mujeres- Estado. Se examinarán debates legislativos, proyectos y reformas al Código Penal desde su sanción nacional en 1886, hasta 1968, cuando se incorporó la violación, como causa de aborto no punible y fueron excluidos los familiares como posibles perpetradores de infanticidio.
