Bahasa Abstract

Aborsi dibatasi oleh hukum di hampir setiap negara pada akhir abad ke-19. Aborsi adalah sebuah topik kontroversial karena melibatkan moral, etika, dan masalah keagamaan yang mendasar. Pembatasan hukum tentang aborsi memang ada di seluruh yurisprudensi Islam, walaupun hanya diizinkan dalam keadaan darurat. Saat ini, masyarakat menjadi lebih sadar tentang aborsi sebagai bagian dari hak asasi manusia, karena dianggap sebagai suatu otonomi perempuan atas tubuhnya dan bagian dari hak reproduksi. Aborsi dianggap harus diizinkan secara hukum dan dapat diakses oleh wanita. Makalah ini akan menggambarkan konstruksi aborsi dalam Hukum Islam dan kesadaran aborsi sebagai hak asasi manusia.
