0291/2018 - A experiência do aborto na rede: Análise de itinerários abortivos compartilhados em uma comunidade online. Abortion experience in the media: Analysis of abortive pathways shared in an online community.
O objetivo deste artigo é analisar narrativas sobre as experiências de abortar disponíveis em uma comunidade online, buscando discutir os métodos e estratégias aos quais as mulheres recorrem frente à impossibilidade legal de interrupção voluntária de gravidez e os efeitos da criminalização do aborto induzido. Como método, utilizou-se a etnografia virtual, com observação da plataforma Women on Web, coleta e análise de 18 narrativas, disponíveis publicamente e sem restrições, selecionadas entre novembro de 2016 e janeiro de 2017. As narrativas informam métodos mesclados para a realização de aborto, com prevalência de utilização do medicamento Cytotec. Em alguns casos, hospitais e consultórios médicos são incluídos nos itinerários, seja para realização de exames ou para atendimento de intercorrências. A internet se revela uma ferramenta de informação, negociação e mesmo aquisição de medicamento abortivo bastante comum, além de uma plataforma de troca de experiências. Conclui-se que as narrativas sinalizam as inseguranças, riscos e violências às quais estão submetidas as mulheres no contexto da clandestinidade, indicam a importância do debate sobre a descriminalização do aborto no Brasil, e também reforçam a existência de uma cultura compartilhada do aborto, já apontada em estudos anteriores.

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.
