Abortion on the Jurisprudence of European Court of Human Rights: something more than a "procedural turn"

The interest shown by the States concerning natural life, as well as its preservation and control (that we accept and demand) when there are unusual circumstances (as the pandemic generated by the COVID-19) is clear. However, this interest also stands in ordinary days, particularly in abortion's politics and laws just as in the evaluation of the ones at European level. Specifically, the evaluation realized by the European Court of Human Rights, focused on to supervise if the States fulfill or not their positive obligations to warrant the access to legal abortion, that is called the jurisprudence' "procedural turn" in matters of abortion, a turn that, as we explain in this paper, has another facet, which is its Bio-political perspective.
