Is it constitutional to decriminalize abortion beyond indications?
Main Article Content
Abstract
The thesis of this work is that, decriminalization of abortion, either for the whole pregnancy or under a term, should be considered constitutional according to the Constitutional Court’s ruling from 2017. Such ruling establishes three principles that justify this paper’s thesis: 1. Abortion is not forbidden by the Constitution and the legislature is authorized to decriminalize it. 2. The unborn is not a person and thus, it does not have a right to life. 3. The woman has a right to a voluntary motherhood. The same conclusion should be drawn from the text approved by the Constitutional Convention.
