Popis
Among women's rights the right to give birth or not occupies a special place. Lately this right has been the object of numerous discussions. By not taking a 'pro' or 'contra' attitude, this paper aims to provide a historical overview and examines possible similaritites and differences of the legal regulations on the issue of abortion in Canada and Croatia. Could "the North" be a legal model for "South" and is there a whole range of different "Norths"?
Parmi les droits de la femme celui de mettre au monde un enfant ou non, occupe une place primordiale. Actuellement, ce droit suscite de nombreuses discussions et polémiques. Sans se déclarer « pro » ou « contra », ce travail se propose de donner un aperçu historique et de rechercher les similitudes ou les différences possibles entre les régimes juridiques sur l'avortement au Canada et en Croatie. Le « Nord » peut-il être pris comme modèle pour le « Sud » ou bien là aussi existe-t-il une multitude de « Nords » différents?
