Abstract:
Studying the history and evolution of criminal law in different countries shows that abortion was previously considered a crime and punishable in many countries, including Australia. On the other hand, abortion is an unavoidable global phenomenon; according to 1990 global statistics, the annual number was estimated to be between 36 to 53 million, of which only about one-third was performed legally and in equipped health clinics. Based on statistics provided by the World Health Organization in 1990, sixty-one thousand deaths of pregnant mothers were due to unsafe abortions. The high percentage of maternal mortality due to unsafe abortion, especially in poorer countries, was one of the concerns assessed at the 1994 United Nations Conference on Population and Development in Cairo. The consequences and problems arising from the absolute prohibition of abortion led many countries to allow regulated abortion under certain conditions with a realistic attitude. In contrast, a number of countries, including Iran, have not yet realistically reviewed their abortion laws, and their societies suffer from the adverse consequences of these absolute laws. This article, while reviewing the evolution of legislation in Australia regarding abortion, examines the logical review and flexibility of some countries regarding this social phenomenon and, with brief reference to jurisprudential and social foundations, justifies and concludes the necessity of allowing regulated abortion in Iran.
Machine summary:
"Developments in Australian Abortion Law in the Mirror of Global Trends, with a Brief Review of Iranian Laws and the Legal Foundations of its Regulated Freedom" Dr. Seyed Hadi Hosseini* Abstract: The study of the history and evolution of criminal law in various countries shows that abortion was previously considered a crime and punishable in many countries, including Australia.
Even in states where abortion is considered a crime, based on the Health Act, in specific cases where saving the mother's life is required, abortion is possible with the approval of medical commissions.
8-Effects of Absolute Prohibition of Abortion According to statistics provided by the World Health Organization in 1990, sixty-one thousand (61,000) deaths of pregnant mothers were due to unsafe abortion.
In this article, whose main subject is investigating the history and evolutionary course of abortion in Australia, the reasons and principles that justify abortion under specific conditions are mentioned very briefly: 1-12: Population Control and Social Security From the perspective of public law, it is necessary for governments, in their long-term economic planning aimed at providing employment and suitable housing for all members of society, to establish special regulations for population control, the practical requirement of which is the legalization of abortion.
How is it possible that despite this jurisprudential description, one could still believe that the prohibition of abortion in cases of unwanted pregnancy, which causes severe hardship for the mother and leads to numerous individual and social problems, does not convert into permissibility and legality?!!
