Abstract

Taking as reference the social situation of Porto's historic centre in the final years of the dictatorship that lasted in Portugal until 1974, and considering the configuration of State action and the very different forms of civic and political participation of local social agents before and after the transition to democracy, this paper presents some analytic contributions to the development of the sociological debate on the relation the working classes in contemporary cities have been establishing with the State and the universe of civic and political stances.

Abstract

This paper analyses the political agenda of the decriminalization of abortion in Portugal, its genealogy, agents, critical aspects, and results. It highlights the role of the main equality organism, in conjunction with the women's movements, as well as the role of political parties. It also seeks to explain the factors that constrained the actions of those several agents on this issue and that contributed to the delay, until 2007, in producing significant results.
