| Sumario: | Since the advance of the feminist movements, important social transformations have taken place, including the installation in the public agenda of the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy (VPI) as a right and collective health issue. However, these advances are produced with difficulties, setbacks and struggles between antagonistic social sectors, which allows us to affirm that sexuality and reproduction are not private fields of dispute but public ones, in which sex-gender power relations are played out.
The work proposes a series of reflections on the IVE and the mandate of obligatory maternity from a perspective in which a socio-historical perspective is interwoven with the current debates on legal, safe and free abortion. In particular, it develops the category of maternity as a biopolitical device for the production of a subjectivity subordinated to patriarchal mandates, whose correlate is the body as a territory in dispute, and then considers the abortion within the field of reproductive rights. Finally, a reflection is made on the category of life from a position that transcends the biological, making visible that the conditions for human life are predominantly social. |
