En este contexto, este artículo se propone describir y valorar el conflicto en democracia sobre la base de las razones y fundamentos del contenido de la disputa, a favor y en contra del aborto, y reseñar las principales disposiciones constitucionales y convencionales que, al regular el aborto, echan luz acerca del universo normativo, del “deber ser”, en el que se inscribe como derecho humano. Por último, intentamos explicar cómo se construyó e instrumentó el control político de la soberanía de los cuerpos en un sistema patriarcal, con la legitimidad suficiente y con el poder necesario para perdurar durante siglos. Si bien no existen obstáculos jurídicos para la despenalización y la legalización del aborto, ¿por qué los intereses de libertad de las mujeres no están plenamente habilitados en todos sus derechos, entre ellos, en los derechos sociales de salud? o ¿qué otros intereses, que no sean los propios, representan esa libertad?The feminist movement installed a political debate regarding the right to abortion in 2018, proposing a transformation not only in the praxis of democracy, but also in its substance, through the decriminalization and legalization of abortion. In this context, this article seeks to describe and evaluate the democratic conflict produced based on the reasons and justifications underpinning the disputed content, in favor and against abortion. It also seeks to summarize the principal constitutional and conventional rulings that, by regulating abortion, shed light on the normative universe of what ought to be, in which human rights are inscribed. Lastly, the article attempts to explain how political control over body sovereignty was constructed and implemented in a patriarchal system, with sufficient legitimacy and power to last for centuries. Although there are no legal obstacles to the decriminalization and legalization of abortion, why is that the interests of freedom for women are not fully enabled within their array of rights, including the social right to health? What other interests, other than those of women, does this freedom represent?application/pdf377-389spaopenAccessAbortoDerechos humanosSalud públicaArgentinaAbortionHuman RightsPublic HealtharticleAutora y Salud Colectiva10.18294/sc.2018.2011Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) This is a human-readable summary of (and not a substitute for) the license.
