Abstract

Concerned with data yelded by recent Brazilian pieces of research on complications after abortion, pointing out to an increasing growth in lhe occurrence of these events, besides their high incidence among adolescente, the authors intend to offer, in this paper, subsidies for a “rethinking”of the matter in futuro public health policies in Brazil. To do so, the authors present a historical approach, emphasizing the medical, religious, political, legal, social, economic and cultural views on the matter of abortion held by different civilizations (both eastern and western ones), since
ancient times until nowadays - ali of them essentially economically oriented, obviously dependent on the faction holding the power at a given time. The Brazilian political legislation is also presented.
