 aculty of Law\, Harvard University\nTitre: Narrating Innocent Suffering in
  Abortion Law\nRésumé (en anglais seulement): Over the past decade\, repro
 ductive rights advocates have pursued a series of lawful abortion access c
 ases from Latin America before the United Nations and Inter-American human
  rights systems.  These cases have met with resounding legal success.  Adv
 ocates celebrate these decisions as important victories for the advancemen
 t of abortion rights in international human rights law.  In this presentat
 ion\, I offer a more ambivalent reading of these cases\, however\, specifi
 cally of how they narrate abortion and sexuality.  All but one of these cl
 aims has involved rape\, and all but one has concerned minors. I identify 
 in these cases a recurring narrative of innocent suffering: an adolescent 
 girl\, figured often as a child\, is raped\, becomes pregnant\, and with t
 he support of her parents seeks to terminate the pregnancy. This narrative
  proves powerful but also perilous for abortion rights advocates.  Cases i
 nvolving adolescent rape and parental beneficence resonate powerfully with
  publics and with legal decision-makers.  And yet by narrating sympathetic
  cases likely to secure greater support for abortion access\, advocates ri
 sk reinforcing narrow conceptions of the reasonable or deserved abortion. 
 Thus\, narratives of innocent suffering can sustain lines of argument and 
 (re)produce legal rules that undercut the very emancipatory goals of the r
 eproductive rights movement.
