Positions from the Jewish social space favorable to the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy

Abstract

This article analyzes the actions carried out by the Jewish feminist collective, in order to make visible the request for the legalization of abortion, both inside and outside the Jewish social space, throughout 2020. This activities dialogue, at the same time, with other previous experiences inside this space, within the framework of different interventions in favor of the interruption of pregnancy, dated between 2010 and 2020. In this sense, the writing reflects on the articulations between religious belongings and associations and political agencies, observing positions that are based, on the one hand, on religious conceptions and, on the other, on the imperative of separating the religious and the public sphere. It is highlighted that those who represent themselves as specialists in religion do not necessarily defend their politicization, and instead, those who present themselves as humanist or secular Jews, carry out interventions where they play religion in the public sphere.
