The article aims to discuss the similarities between the current debate on the criminalization of abortion
and the historical witch hunt in the Late Middle Ages and in Modernity Age, seeking to punctuate the effects that
this relationship causes on women's bodies and experiences. For this, is made a brief contextualization of the history
of the witch-hunt as an essential event for the diffusion of capitalism and expropriation of the bodies and
reproductive functions of women, as well as to contextualize the current abortion debate in Brazil as a tension
between the feminist movements and the conversational and religious groups. Three main similarities have been
identified between witch hunts and the current criminalization of abortion: domination and expropriation of
women's bodies and reproductive functions; the two periods persecute, kill and make black, poor and peripheral
women vulnerable; and both create and perpetuate a misogynist culture that incites violence and hate crimes against
women. |
