İSLAMİ MUHAFAZAKÂR KADIN YAZARLARIN PERSPEKTİFİNDEN KÜRTAJ TARTIŞMASI: ELEŞTİREL BİR DEĞERLENDİRME 1

After being legalized in 1983 as a result of a political strategy based on prevention of population growth, abortion had not been a subject of public debate. In the last days of May in 2012, when former prime minister gave a statement as: "I consider abortion as a murder" and "Every abortion is Uludere", the concept became a prominent subject of a nationwide debate. In this debate, two major opposing groups occurred: a group focused on the right of the embryo to gestate and be born on the one hand and the other focused on women's rights to control their body. This study aims to analyse Islamicconservative female writers' approaches against both men in Islamic community supporting ban on abortion and the opponents of ban by using the slogan "my body, my right." In order to analyse their position, female writers' all columns and published interviews about the debate held one-month period from the beginning of the debate are used as a method to analyse the subject.
