Abstract:

The research on abortion in Brazil has pointed to the existence of a paradoxical dynamic about the phenomenon. On the one hand it is a taboo subject and surrounded by stigma, conforming an apparent social invisibility of this practice, and on the other hand it is a common event in the reproductive life of women of all social classes, races and religions, indicating a culture of broad sharing of knowledge and practice on the subject. This paper is about the character of the \"friend who has already aborted\", which appears in narratives about the abortion experience shared publicly in an online platform, understood here as a virtual exchange community on the subject, maintained by the international non-governmental organization Women on Web. From a virtual ethnography, it was perceived that this person gains prominence in the narratives and in the universe of the interpersonal social networks mobilized by the women in its abortive pathways. Relations that stimulate reflection on the place of solidarity among women in the collectivization of knowledge and strategies and in the production of a common resistance in the context of clandestine and stigmatization that forms the theme of abortion in the country.
