Abstract

Disputes on abortion have been revived with the current project to legalize it. It has been sent by the President Michelle Bachelet, the only one from the Executive Power since the return of democracy. Despite many efforts from parliamentarians for this cause, the political discussion in Chile remains co-opted by the dominance of moral and patriarchal discourse which defends the right of the product of fertilization against the right of women to decide about their bodies and therefore the possibility of rejecting maternity or its conditions. This paper analyzes the development of legislation on this subject from the sociology of law and a feminist perspective. From the biopolitics, it gives a critical reading of the punishment of abortion as an attack on female autonomy.
