Abortion, a class issue in Mexico

Abstract

We refer to abortion as a social problem because through the gender perspective, the sources indicate the lack of effective implementation of contraceptive methods and sexual education; abortion services have been inaccessible to poor women; and with the restriction of the laws, the consequence has been that the abortion service continues to be profited, without sanitary conditions and certified medical knowledge and, therefore, the physical and emotional integrity of the woman has not been guaranteed. The crime of abortion is a controversial, polarized and sensitive topic, the subject of important dissertations, so here we seek to problematize: What are the scenarios that are presented to poor women who decide to have an abortion?, emphasizing that they experience grief all regardless of social stratum, however, those who live in poverty experience it in a traumatic way.
