ZARATE CUELLO, Amparo de Jesús. ABORTION AS A SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHT FOR WOMEN? A REVIEW FROM BIOLAW, BIOETHICS, BIOPOLITICS AND BIOJURIDICS IN THE UNITED STATES, SPAIN AND COLOMBIA. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.2, pp.12-27. ISSN 1657-4702.

Throughout history, women have sought recognition of their rights. Their struggle for emancipation has been fruitful; however, to date it hasn't reached equality with the male gender in the democracy of opportunities. In the way to achieve their rights is exposed their interest in the interruption of the biological continuum of their reproductive function, undermining the very essence of the beginning of human life, the unborn child that is growing in her belly. Thus, in this paper the analysis has been elucidated in the light of Biolaw, Bioethics, Biopolitics and Biojuridic on the so called sexual and reproductive rights which have been dealt in the philosophy of feminist groups, life defense and the nuclear family, taking effect since the Conference on Population and Development (Cairo, 1994) and the Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing, 1995).

Keywords : Sexual and reproductive rights in women; biolaw; bioethics; biopolitics; human rights.
