Abstract:

The main objective of this study was to identify and analyze the social representations of abortionfor gynecologists and obstetricians. The methodology used was the Semi-Structured Interview with 20 gynecologists and obstetricians (10 males and 10 females)34 to 67 years of age, who worked in hospitals in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte/MG. The results showed that abortion is recurrent in the interviewees daily routine, mobilizing the elaboration of social representations that help them to make it a familiar object. Typologically, the representations identified were polemic social representations. Most participants objectified the abortion as Decision/Right, anchoring it in basic values, such as liberty, which oriented abortion practice and support its legalization. In parallel, other parcel of participants objectified the abortion as Murder, anchoring it in basic values considered unquestionable, such as life, which implied in the defense of the fetus, and the conscientious objection to the abortion practice.
