Abstract:

This Article analyzes the issue of a woman’s right to legalized abortion and state attempts to circumvent the precedential U.S. Supreme Court decisions recognizing a woman’s right to bodily autonomy, using the state of Indiana as a persistent example of such attempts. A woman’s right to legal abortion is a public health concern. Protection of legal abortion is found through the right to privacy, a right inferred from several amendments to the United States Bill of Rights. The Supreme Court’s inaction in the Indiana litigation and more recently, in the Texas case, leaves many women who seek abo

Abstract:

Abortion remains one of the most controversial, emotional and burning political issues of our time. Unsafe abortion is a serious public health problem and human rights issue. The pervasive criminalization of abortion in Nigeria is a serious obstacle to improving access to safe and legal abortion. Women’s lack of access to safe legal abortion is a major cause of high rates of maternal mortality. The Nigerian government’s failure to fulfill its human rights obligations under national, regional and international law is largely responsible for this situation. Overcoming these considerable barriers

Abstract:

This Note focuses on two cases, Maher v. Roe and Harris v. McRae, and argues that they represent watershed moments in the reproductive rights movement because they positioned abortion as a fundamental right in name only. In both cases, the Supreme Court sanctioned severe funding restrictions and refused to grant poor women the right to state and federal assistance for elective and “nontherapeutic” abortions. “Non-therapeutic abortion” refers to those abortions performed or induced when the life of the mother is not endangered if the fetus is carried to term or when the pregnancy of the mother

Abstract:

The struggle for abortion rights continues to rage in the 21st century. On one side feminists, who see it as part of the struggle to establish a woman’s right to control her own body, and a wider constituency, who deplore the injury and death resulting from the lack of access to safe abortions, have campaigned energetically for abortion rights. On the other side, various religious fundamentalists have put pressure on states to block any expansion of rights and even take away existing rights. Prominent among the anti-abortion forces are the Roman Catholic establishment and right-wing Evangelica

Abstract The aim of this paper is to justify women’s right to abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy. Considering human rights as the protection of our normative agency or personhood, this paper will argue that human rights cannot be extended to human embryos and foetuses. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the moral status of the foetus is not sufficient to overcome the woman’s right to the freedom to control her own body. There may be, however, moral considerations other than human rights that could restrict abortions after the first trimester of pregnancy. In order to protect human

France has created history by becoming the first-ever country to enshrine ‘Right to Abortion’ in their Constitution.

The right to life is one of the human rights stated in the constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. In Indonesia, abortion is generally prohibited by law. However, for rape victims, abortion is considered an option that needs to be considered to protect the victim.

The problem formulated is how the law protects victims and the implications of regulatory inequality.

State-sponsored publications stated that abortion on demand was an important right for women, but—probably for strategic reasons—they also described abortions as being difficult.

A basic human right - the right to life, even today faces numerous questions when it comes to its scope. One of those questions is the issue of the right to abortion, which is the subject of numerous controversies among lawyers, philosophers, medical workers, theologists, as well as among citizens in the broadest sense. Debates that exist in various scientific disciplines indicate the complexity of these issues that needs to be legally regulated at the domestic and international level. For that reason, it is necessary to follow and study the judgments of international bodies that have been pas

The US Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe vs Wade ruling in July 2022. A highly controversial decision with wide ranging impact on the rights and health of women both in the USA and across the world.  There is no doubt that this judicial ruling will disproportionately affect those who are poor, with little access to healthcare; disabled, minors and those with physical or mental disabilities.[1] Rural women of colour from the Southern States are likely to be the worst affected.[2] This has far wider implications than only affecting the poor and marginalised. Removing legal

AbstractIf applied in isolation from the fundamental rights of women seeking abortion services, the right to conscientious objection can render any given rights to abortion illusory, including the rights to health, life, equality and dignity that are attendant to abortion. A transformative understanding of human rights requires that the right to conscientious objection to abortion be construed in a manner that is subject to the correlative duties which are imposed on the conscientious objector, as well as the state, in order to accommodate women's reproductive health rights.

Abstract:

Abstract At the present time, no national constitution expressly guarantees access to abortion as a human right. Yet, despite the absence of explicit constitutional provisions, a growing body of case law from countries’ highest courts recognizes abortion as a fundamental, natural right. Judicial interpretations of the right to abortion are evolving, with courts considering it a derivative of the constitutional guarantees of liberty, equality, dignity, or, more recently, the protection of health. Conversely, some courts, notably in the United States and Poland, have ruled out the possibility of

Abstract:

The right to abortion has been a controversial and contested issue in India, with conflicting views among the judiciary, lawmakers, and society at large. This research paper aims to critically analyse the right to abortion as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees the right to life and personal liberty. The paper begins by providing an overview of the legal and policy framework surrounding abortion in India, including the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971, and subsequent amendments. It then examines the constitutional validity of the abortion

The scope of this study is to question the fact that in some countries in Latin America (Chile, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and the Dominican Republic) abortion is still forbidden in all situations. Even after all the debate on this thorny issue, the theory of human rights is not often used in the defense of abortion. This is clearly related to the pervasive, albeit unspoken belief that, due to their condition, pregnant women inherently lose their full human rights and should surrender and even give up their lives in favor of the unborn child.

Abstract In this article, I explicate Kant’s position on the wide right to abortion. That is, I explore the extent to which, according to Kant’s practical philosophy, abortion is punishable, even if it involves an unjust infringement of the right to life. By focusing on the state’s right to punish, rather than the right to life or the onset of personhood, I use Kant to expose a novel range of issues and questions about the legal status of abortion (and criminal punishment more generally). The article is divided into four sections. In the first, I lay the groundwork for Kant’s theory of rights

In 1977, the Israeli parliament (Knesset) changed the section on abortion in the colonial criminal code which Israel inherited from the British mandate in Palestine. Like most other Western countries who relaxed their laws on abortion in the 1960s-80s, Israel made abortion legal for almost all women who seek it. Nonetheless, the Israeli law on abortion differs substantially from other nations' laws. In no stage of pregnancy does the woman have an absolute right to abort—she always needs an approval from a special committee; yet, the woman's stage of pregnancy is nowhere a relevant legal criter

This article analyzes how and why a near-total abortion ban was recently secured by a populist ruling party with support from Catholic Church leaders and lay groups following earlier passage of one of the most restrictive abortion laws in Europe. The paper further examines the public health threats posed by these measures, which have long been under-researched. These policy shifts are situated within the deeply embedded context of Poland’s abortion conflict and a setting that has long been challenging for reproductive health.
