Kajian Teori Feminisme terhadap Legalisasi Aborsi dalam KUHP Nasional
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abortion is a complex and controversial issue in Indonesian society, especially when associated with women's reproductive rights and available legal protection. This study examines the legalization of abortion in Indonesia through a feminist theory approach as a tool to critique the patriarchal legal system. In Indonesian positive law, abortion is generally prohibited, but is permitted under certain conditions such as medical emergencies and pregnancy due to rape. Although there have been regulatory developments, such as through Law No. 36 of 2009, PP No. 61 of 2014, the National Criminal Code, and Law No. 17 of 2023, normative constraints such as gestational age limits, complex administrative procedures, and husband's permission requirements continue to limit women's autonomy over their bodies. This study uses a qualitative method with a juridical-normative approach and literature study of feminist regulations and theories. The results show that the Indonesian legal system still contains gender bias that hinders women's access to safe and legal abortion. Therefore, a more inclusive and human rights-based legal reform is needed to realize maximum protection for women's reproductive rights.
