Abstract
This article explores the opposing positions on abortion in Mexico, using the content analysis of texts and ronouncements recently published and issued by domestic collective actors and their allies or international institutes. From the study of the differences of significance of abortion in rivaled speeches in Mexico today, not only does this article seek to identify the distinguishing discursive logic that supports them, but also put this dispute in the context of the current era of transition between two capitalist structural-technological models: industrial modernity and post-industrialism, and so argue that abortion is emblematic of a larger contemporary race for the nature of the state and its relationship with religion. As such, it represents a clash over the societal project itself.
