Dyskurs wokół aborcji – analiza teoretyczno-prawna

Abstract

The dispute over the acceptability of abortion has been known to the world for thousands of years. There are still no objective premises by which the dispute could be resolved. However, this is not the main problem. The real problem is, that there is no field for conversation on this matter in which both pro-life and pro-choice adherents can feel comfortable with. The author of this article believes, that the lack of a common language is the source of this problem. Clear absence of a common understanding of individual concepts (key to the dispute) in both social discussions and in legal doctrine, causes constant misunderstandings and constantly progressing polarization of views. This polarization is definitely not conducive to the development of a good and safe legal order, which representatives of both sides (pro-life and pro-choice) could be content with.
