“…Neither is it necessary for the doctor to ask for and record reasons for an abortion. This reinforces the notion of 'good' and 'bad' abortions (Beynon-Jones, 2012;Bloomer et al, 2019). Decriminalisation would help to create a more 'open' and de-stigmatised atmosphere in consultations relating to abortion, which would have a beneficial effect on women's wellbeing.…”

While the principle of autonomy remains the basis of most conceptualizations of citizenship and has been deemed crucial for a feminist understanding of citizenship (Lister, 1997a(Lister, , 1997b, under restrictive legislation on abortion, this autonomy is severely curtailed on the most basic, bodily level.…”

The discursive positioning of the foetus as a separable being with its own 'rights' in antiabortion discourse has no acknowledgement of its dependence on a pregnant person to reach a stage where it is 'separable' (Bloomer et al, 2018;.…”
