Abstract

This essay posits a hypothesis: the reason underlying the criminalization of abortion is not to seek the sanctity of the human life. Rather, its ultimate purpose, based on theological moral catholic concepts, is to control women's sexual autonomy.If the hypothesis is right, the intensity of the penal action in the classification of abortion as a crime becomes disproportionate and unjustified. This is because it supports the existence of an offense on grounds which are motivated by the imposition of the ethical dogma of a particular religion.    

Keywords:

Abortion, sanctity of life, catholic moral theology, sexuality
