The descriminalization of abortion

an analysis from the point of view Ronald Dworkin and HC 124.306/RJ

Abstract

This article, through bibliographic, legislative and jurisprudential research, addresses the principles of human dignity, from the point of view of Ronald Dworkin to later analyze the importance of this conception for the concept and typification of abortion, a fact that directly implies the collision of fundamental rights, weakening the dignity of women when criminalized until the third month of pregnancy. The research analyzes the historical evolution of abortion as a crime, with emphasis on the exclusion of illegality, and makes an analysis of the theme to freight the scientific definitions guided by bioethics. Habeas Corpus 124.306/RJ is also analyzed, as a theoretical framework for the theme. Finally, the concept of women's reproductive freedom becomes a fundamental right, in order to protect human dignity.
