The historical development of abortion - a crime or a human right?

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the historical excursus of the development of abortion from prehistoric times to the current legislation. It begins by describing the issue itself from the earliest references to the legal regulation of abortion, proceeds to the explicit legal regulation that criminalizes the performance of abortion, concluding with the present day. It not only discusses the current status of the current legislation and the motive for enacting such legislation, but also highlights the very parliamentary proposals that have resonated through the electoral periods. It also seeks to highlight the consequences that the legislation has caused in the past, or the appropriateness of (non)criminalization in relation to abortion. It analyses the parliamentary proposals of the electoral periods, or the justification of these proposals, and also reflects on the (un)necessity to regulate abortion policy in the current period. It describes the different spectrums of opinion of the two circles in society, whether liberal or conservative. He points to the reduction of the abortion rate, or the overly restrictive proposed provisions tightening abortion.
