Focusing on the historical context of the Inquisition and its impact on societal structures, this analysis explores the criminalization of women's bodies, particularly regarding abortion in Argentina. It examines the patriarchal discourse that has persisted since the 15th century, linking it to contemporary issues through the case of Belén, who was imprisoned for a miscarriage. The study aims to highlight how these historical practices have shaped modern economic systems and the control of women's reproductive rights.
