MORTELARO, Priscila Kiselar; SPINK, Mary Jane Paris e BRIGAGAO, Jacqueline Isaac Machado. Women As Object of Legal Practices: An Analysis of The Bill 478/2007. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.3, e70569. Epub 01-Set-2021. ISSN 1806-9584. https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2021v29n370569.
Once life itself was included in the operations of power, the female body has been positioned as an object of disciplinary devices and governmentality. The issue of abortion condenses in itself such complex relations of power. Given the problematic correlation between the regulation of the practice and its incidence in Brazil, our aim is to identify the notions of women's rights present in the bill 478/2007, considering the changes proposed by its substitute. Through discursive analysis, we identified three ways of understanding and performing women's rights: women are positioned as objects of legal practices; they are not understood as subjects of law; and, finally, they have their own right to life brought into question. It is evident that the proposition prioritizes the rights of the embryo/fetus while anchored in a specific notion of human nature.
