A lot of open questions… (open thread)

Why does a law against unsafe abortions eliminate from our Criminal Code the requirement that an abortion -in order to be legal- must be performed by a medical doctor?

Why does a law against clandestine abortions decrease the maximum penalty for clandestine abortion from 4 years to 1 year?

Why does a law to enhance women’s autonomy and freedom ban the disclosure of information relating to the risks assumed with each type of medical intervention and the offer of alternatives to abortion?

Why doesn’t a law to protect abused girls require the preservation of human remains’ DNA to imprison the abuser and prevent the perpetuation of abuse?

Why does a law against the criminalization of women choose to criminalize gynecologists and obstetricians (mostly women) who do not comply with the 10-day compulsory deadline to perform an abortion (within the context of a third world health infrastructure)?

Is it because Argentina is today, more than ever, the “Reino del Revés” (Reverse Kingdom)?

Or is it because -as Arendt explains- it is in the nature of ideological politics that the real content of ideology (in this case, “women”), which originally had brought about the idea (“the fight against patriarchy”), is devoured by the logic with which the idea is carried out?

Be as it may, the end never justifies the means. What an embarrassment my country has become.
