Abstract

RUIBA, Alba. Feminismo, religión y democracia en el proceso de legalización del aborto en la ciudad de México. Estud. - Cent. Estud. Av., Univ. Nac. Córdoba [online]. 2012, n.27, pp.13-26. ISSN 1852-1568.

The conservative position on abortion has imposed a religious dogma on the political community in Latin American countries, which has blocked public discussion and has established prohibitions on all citizens. This paper argues that this is incompatible with democracy, and shows how feminist organizations in Mexico have developed a successful strategy to counter this argument in the public sphere.
