“…Moreover, it was positively associated with religiosity, particularly with the social condemnation subscale (Cockrill et al, 2013). This agrees with studies in non-Western countries reporting high community rejection of older or married women or those who already have children (Makleff et al, 2019), which would appear to be linked to the idealization of motherhood and religiosity (Orihuela-Cortés et al, 2023;Sorhaindo et al, 2014). However, it may also be associated with experience, since abusive practices exercised by providers towards women seeking service have been documented (Collado Miranda & Mora-Ríos, 2020).…”

Introduction. Reproductive autonomy enables a person to freely decide their life plan, including sexual and reproductive health. However, its exercise can be constrained by health determinants and other structural conditions. Knowing the background of women who undergo a Legal Interruption of Pregnancy (LIP) helps identify patterns of inequality and their impact on the exercise of reproductive autonomy. Objective. To analyze the profile of women who legally terminate a pregnancy in Mexico City. Method. Latent class analysis, with the participation of 274 women who terminated a first trimester pregnancy at a public facility. Results. Model of two latent classes: adult (68.34%) and young women (31.65%). Stigma was the predictor variable for class; the higher the score, the lower the probability of belonging to the adult group (p = .019). Adult women were characterized by having lower educational attainment, engaging in unpaid activities, having at least one child, and having had previous abortions, having experienced intimate partner violence in the past twelve months and reporting that their partners did not agree with the interruption of their pregnancy. Young women were students, partnered and reported that their partners had agreed with them to request an abortion. Discussion and conclusion. Despite the legal changes effected, stigma is still present in the abortion demand and access, particularly for women with certain characteristics. It would be useful to include interventions to reduce stigma in counseling, using an approach based on previous experience.

“…A pesar de estas limitaciones, este estudio aporta datos objetivos que indican falta de información sobre un tema del que se supondría que las personas en edad reproductiva deberían de estar interesadas, más aún si cuentan con una formación universitaria. Esta desinformación puede ser una consecuencia de la ilegalidad, ya que esta perpetúa el estigma hacia el aborto 27 , lo que obstaculiza las conversaciones y el acceso a la información sobre el tema. Por otro lado, nuestros resultados podrían ser útiles para desarrollar estrategias de información e intervención dirigidas a mujeres en edad reproductiva por parte de grupos que apoyan los derechos sexuales y reproductivos de las mujeres, con el fin de proteger su salud tanto física como psicológica.…”

El misoprostol es un medicamento de fácil acceso con el que se puede tener un aborto seguro. Objetivo: Explorar los conocimientos sobre la situación legal del aborto en el Estado de Aguascalientes, en donde el aborto está penalizado, así como los conocimientos y opiniones sobre el misoprostol. Método: Se aplicó un cuestionario en línea a 208 adultos. Resultados: La mayoría de las participantes no conocía la situación legal del aborto ni del Estado de Aguascalientes ni del país. Cerca de la mitad conocía el misoprostol, y sus principales fuentes de información fueron Internet y redes sociales. Aproximadamente la mitad de estos participantes no supo qué complicaciones puede ocasionar que requieran atención médica. Conclusión: El conocimiento sobre la situación legal del aborto y sobre el uso del misoprostol como método abortivo es limitado. Existe consciencia de la importancia de la supervisión médica cuando se usa, aunque esta se dificulta debido a la ilegalidad del aborto en Aguascalientes.
