Some like Fracoise d`Eaubonne, Rosemary Reuter and Mary Daly have viewed that one cause of cruelty to women and of natural destruction lies in the culture of patriarchy and men`s dominance over all affairs. As they claimed, the patriarchic theology of The Bible has supported and established this culture and given the authority of women`s affairs including abortion to men to keep women under their dominance. It has been taken the form of a cruelty to women. And again, illegality of abortion for increasing the population as propagated and taught by Divine religions has led to natural destruction. Ecofeminists has known supportion of legality of abortion as necessaryto oppose men`s dominance over women. In the paper, it has been intended to study and analyze radical ecofeminists` proofs of the field critically. Meanwhile, it has been made clear that their claim for supporting nature by supporting abortion and for women`s right to decision and absolute freedom is incorrect. And finally, when reasoning against legality of abortion, the author has emphasized essential value of human life. LA eng UL http://akhlagh.maaref.ac.ir/article-1-1100-en.html M3 ER -
