The present dissertation is devised with the objective of identifying and problematizing the experiences of induced abortion in Brazil from the discussions generated in the cyberspace (blogs). In order to attain this objective, theoretical and empirical studies with a qualitative approach are developed. This dissertation is composed of four texts that are complementary to each other. The first one, entitled ‘’Reflections on Abortion, Religion and the Brazilian Estate’’, aimed at analyzing how different institutional intersections hinder the implementation of sexual and reproductive rights to women, especially the abortion. The referred text was developed through a deliberate and non-systematic analysis of theoretical publications such as articles, periodicals, books, dissertations, theses and governmental documents. The second text, ‘’Aborting Silence: obstacles in the construction of a research’’, consisted of a report on the research, in which we share and reflect about the changes occurred during the study’s performance. The third text, entitled ‘’I had an abortion: blogs as spaces for the manifestation of sexual and reproductive rights’’, aimed at understanding the relationship between the practice of induced abortion and women’s sexual and reproductive rights. This text was built from accounts of women who have had the experience of abortion and that were available on the cyberspace. The fourth text, named ‘’Talking about abortion on the cyberspace; reflections on gender’’, aimed at knowing the questions of gender involved in the practice of induced abortions. In order to do so, narrative interviews were performed via email with women that agreed to share their experiences on abortion. All texts were produced from a reflection on critical social psychology and feminist epistemologies. The dissertation allowed us to think considerately about abortion experiences. It also gave us greater proximity with the stories of women who have experienced an abortion. Through these stories we were able to acquire certain knowledge on questions such as gender, sexual and reproductive rights and politics. We perceived that the question of abortion refers to historical, social and cultural contexts in which we live. However, the narratives indicated that people should be able to decide about their own lives as an imperative condition to exist and resist.
