Abstract:

The aim of this article is to analyze narratives about experiences with abortion as available in a virtual community, seeking to discuss the methods and strategies to which women resort, facing the legal impossibility of voluntarily interrupting a pregnancy and the effects of the criminalization of induced abortion. The methodology used was virtual ethnography, with a study of the platform Women on Web, collection and analysis of 18 narratives that were publicly available without restrictions, ed between November 2016 and January 2018. The narratives report mixed methods for carrying out an abortion, prevailing the use of Cytotec. Some cases include hospitals and medical clinics in its itineraries, be it due to conducting examinations or for attending to intercurrences. The internet appears as a tool for gathering information, negotiating and even acquiring abortive drugs, as well as a platform for sharing experiences. It was concluded that the narratives point to the insecurities, risks and violences to which women are submitted in a scenario of vulnerability, indicate the importance of debate about decriminalizing abortion in Brazil, and also reinforce the existence of a culture of abortion, as stated in other studies.
