Abortion rights in international law have historically been framed within a medico-legal paradigm, the belief that regulated systems of legal and medical control guarantee safe abortion. However, a growing worldwide practice of self-managed abortion (SMA) supported by feminist activism challenges key precepts of this paradigm. SMA activism has shown that more than medical service delivery matters to safe abortion and has called into question the legal regulation of abortion beyond criminal prohibitions. This article explores how abortion rights have begun to depart from the medico-legal paradigm and to support the novel norms and practices of SMA activism in a transformation of the abortion field. Abortion rights as reimagined in SMA activism increasingly feature in human rights agendas related to structural violence and inequality, collective organising and international solidarity, and democratic engagement.
国际法中的堕胎权历来是在医学法律范式内提出的，即认为规范的法律和医疗控制体系可以保证堕胎的安全。然而，女权主义激进主义支持的全球范围内越来越多的自行管理堕胎（SMA）实践对这一范式的关键前提提出了挑战。SMA 激进主义表明，对于安全堕胎来说，不仅仅是医疗服务的提供问题，而且还质疑了堕胎的法律管制，不仅仅是刑事禁止。本文探讨了堕胎权如何开始脱离医学法律范式，并在堕胎领域的变革中支持 SMA 激进主义的新规范和实践。在 SMA 激进主义中重新构想的堕胎权越来越多地出现在与结构性暴力和不平等、集体组织和国际团结以及民主参与相关的人权议程中。
