La lucha por el aborto en Chile no es nueva, no lo es en su historia de militancias ni como materia de salud pública, no es tampoco una reivindicación propia de las protestas de la última década ni exclusiva de la marea feminista que se ha esparcido por varios lugares del mundo y que en Argentina se ha teñido particularmente de verde, contagiándonos con la fuerza de sus pañuelos. Es probable, que la certeza de que la actual ley de aborto en...

"I'm an abortion provider," she will now say. And, an interesting thing started to happen each time she met someone new. One by one, people would confide-at BBQs, at jury duty, in the middle of the greeting card aisle at Target- that in fact they'd had an abortion...

"In the age of girl bosses, Beyoncé, and Black Widow, we like to tell our little girls they can be anything they want when they grow up, except they'll have to work twice as hard, be told to "play nice," and face countless double standards that curb their personal, political, and economic power.

Pocas veces ha habido mayor afinidad entre un filósofo y un científico. Julián Marías conoce a Jérme Lejeune en 1980, y años después lo describe como "uno de los hombres que más se han esforzado por mostrar la significación inaceptable del aborto, cuya difusión, fomentada por unos y pasivamente recibida por otros, es a mi juicio lo más grave que ha sucedido en el siglo XX".
Este libro muestra cómo estos dos grandes humanistas supieron...
