生殖权首先以消极的方式出现在男性身上,19世纪的妇女运动导致了女性生殖权的出现,这两方面的生殖权直到20世纪下半叶才合流,形成不分性别的生殖权概念。在这一概念下,男女在流产问题上仍面临不同的对待。生殖的性质随着特定国家的人口形势而变,在有的国家是义务,此等义务的轻重在各国又各不相同;而在有的国家是权利。尽管如此,国家仍把剥夺生殖权作为打击罪犯和进行社会防卫的手段。 Reproductive rights first appeared on men in a negative way. The women’s movement in the 19th century led to the emergence of female reproductive rights, which were not merged until the second half of the 20th century, creating a gender-neutral concept of reproductive rights. Under this concept, men and women are still facing different treatment on the issue of abortion. The nature of reproduction varies with the population situation in a given country, and in some countries it is an obligation. The weight of such obligations varies from country to country; in others, it is a right. In spite of this, the country still regards deprivation of reproductive rights as a means to combat criminals and conduct social defense.
