The central aim of this research is to identify the versions of voluntary abortion present in the legislative process through the analysis of two specific bills, which propose either decriminalization or criminalization of such procedure even in the cases already provided by law: bills number 882/2015 and 478/2007, respectively. To understand the conditions that enable the criminalization of the ending of pregnancy, we will make use of Foucault’s theory concerning biopolitics and the apparatus (“dispositif”) of sexuality, since it allows us to conceive the rise of the process which politicizes maternity from the perspective of the life-imperative. To reach the aforementioned aim, we employ the theoretical-methodological approach from the discursive psychology, developed by the Centre for Studies and Research of Discursive Practices in Quotidian: rights, risks and health” (Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre Práticas Discursivas no Cotidiano: direitos, riscos e saúde - NUPRAD), also related to a constructionist attitude. In the first place, we carried out a systematization of legislative bills with regard to abortion proposed between 2007 and 2017. Next, an analysis of the justification of the two selected bills was made, searching for the voluntary abortion versions contained in them. Three versions were then identified: abortion as murder, abortion as a public health problem and abortion as a women’s right, which, in turn, involves the right to reproductive self-determination and the right to life. These versions establish between themselves oppositions, but also combine and complement each other, depending on their use
