Abortion in Marabá, Pará: associated factors and reasons

Abstract

Objective: to identify the sociodemographic and abortion profile of women residing in Marabá, Pará and the main associated factors and reasons. Method: quantitative, cross-sectional study, through questionnaires collected from March to December 2020, involving 394 women residing in Marabá, literate and aged 18 years or older. Results: the results showed that the 37 women who had already had an abortion were aged between 25 and 29 years, with higher education, single, with a family income of one to two minimum wages, catholic and domestic. The main reasons for abortion were lack of financial conditions, not being prepared to be a mother and unstable relationship with the partner. Conclusion: induced abortion reflects an unequal socioeconomic paradigm, and its criminalization brings obstacles to care and recognition of the problem.
