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?
2018年，女权运动引发了一场关于堕胎权的政治辩论，提议不仅要在民主实践上，而且要在民主实质内容上进行变革，即通过堕胎非刑罪化和合法化来实现。在此背景下，本文旨在基于支持和反对堕胎的争议内容背后的原因及理由，描述和评估由此产生的民主冲突。本文还试图总结主要的宪法和常规裁决，这些裁决通过对堕胎进行规范，阐明了应然的规范领域，人权也被纳入其中。最后，本文试图解释在父权制体系中，对身体主权的政治控制是如何构建和实施的，这种体系拥有足够的合法性和权力并持续了数个世纪。尽管堕胎非刑罪化和合法化不存在法律障碍，但为何女性的自由权益在其一系列权利（包括社会健康权）中未能得到充分实现？除了女性利益之外，这种自由还代表了哪些其他利益？
