A discourse analysis was carried out to identify how women's reproductive rights and needs are reflected in pro-life and pro-choice public debate in Poland.
The research procedure was based on the need to answer the question: how do pro-life and pro-choice discourses define women's reproductive rights in Poland (including the right to abortion)? Discourse analysis was applied to answer this question. The analysis covered materials published in rightist-conservative and leftist-feminist social-political portals and in popular media during the period 2009-2014, when the so-called 'abortion compromise' was in force, and the period 2016-2017, when a proposal for an absolute ban on abortion caused women to protest throughout Poland.
Our research showed that construction of the analysed discourses is of a processual nature. Owing to social changes, both discourses have become strongly radicalised. The rightist-conservative discourse is emotional and criticising, restricting women's rights to the benefit of the rights of the fetus. The leftist-feminist view is oriented towards emphasising freedom of choice and observing women's rights.
The pro-life movement's discourse may be defined as promoting the restriction of women's reproductive rights, while leftist-feminist discourse may be seen as promoting women's reproductive rights.
开展话语分析,以确定波兰支持生命和支持选择的公共辩论中如何体现女性的生殖权利和需求。
研究程序基于回答以下问题的需要:支持生命和支持选择的话语如何界定波兰女性的生殖权利(包括堕胎权)?运用话语分析来回答这个问题。分析涵盖了2009年至2014年期间(即所谓的“堕胎妥协”生效期间)以及2016年至2017年期间(当时一项绝对禁止堕胎的提案引发了波兰各地女性的抗议)在右派保守和左派女权主义社会政治门户网站以及大众媒体上发表的材料。
我们的研究表明,所分析话语的构建具有过程性。由于社会变革,两种话语都变得高度激进。右派保守话语情绪化且具有批判性,为了胎儿的权利而限制女性权利。左派女权主义观点则侧重于强调选择自由并尊重女性权利。
支持生命运动的话语可被定义为促进对女性生殖权利的限制,而左派女权主义话语可被视为促进女性的生殖权利。
