"Media and abortion in Brazil: discourses on the legalisation of abortion" considers that from a historical point of view, abortion has not always been understood as a crime, but today, induced and unsafe abortion is not only criminalised, but also represents a major public health problem. Since the mid-1970s, women's and feminist social movements have been engaged in the fight to legalise abortion, bringing this issue into the mainstream of political and social debates, which began to bring together new bodies and social actors, allowing for the construction of different positions that reaffirm the interests of different social groups, whose discourses are reproduced by the media. How does the legalisation of abortion appear in the media discourse? How has the media been presenting and encouraging debate on this issue? What discourses are (re)produced and what power relations and interests are at play? This book seeks to understand the historically constructed points of view, meanings and practices surrounding abortion, as well as analysing the discourses of different institutions, groups and social actors in the Brazilian media.
