Abstract

The current research will focus on a qualitative-descriptive study through which it is sought to investigate the social perception that adolescent women, mothers of families and teachers have regarding abortion, considering the influence of categories like ethics, moral and legal, for it, the information will be collected using a semi-structured interview and a focus group. In addition to this, the analysis of the results obtained from the instruments will be carried out under a population category and then, a triangulation. This thinking about the abortion like an issue that throughout history has divided people into different positions, which have generated controversy in society. Consequently, various groups have been instituted to support the notion of the decriminalization of abortion, as well as the criminalization of this medical procedure. The obtained results showed that due to age and the different roles that the participants assume and fulfill, they reflect their position on the subject. In the conclusions, it can be determined that the ethical, moral and legal factors that describe the social perception of adolescent women, mothers and teachers have a great influence on their position about the abortion, that is why, it can be evidenced that in as adolescents, their perception is positive, due to the lack of financial resources, the lack of support from the parent and the fact that, emotionally, pregnancy has multiple consequences on the teenagers. On the other hand, the mothers, there is a tendency to preserve the life, due to the fact that they fulfill and play the role of mothership and under any circumstances consider the abortion as something favorable, finally, the teachers show the same way of thinking, because of their role as educators and counselors in the process of rising children and adolescents. In addition, they fulfill and play a role of mothers which greatly influences their position, however, the pro-abortion position of one of the teachers is highlighted, taking into account their age difference compared to the other interviewees, and because of the fact that she does not play the role of mother.
