本文旨在揭示堕胎的概念作为年轻人对少女怀孕的看法的一个因素。该研究分析了来自巴西阿雷格里港、里约热内卢和萨尔瓦多的 123 名 18-24 岁年轻男女的半结构化访谈数据，他们属于不同的社会阶层。根据有关他们的情感、性和生殖情况的信息，建立了堕胎类型学，其梯度范围从考虑该行为到尝试实现该行为，实际上屈服于堕胎，甚至排除中断妊娠的可能性。数据显示，73%的受访者考虑过堕胎的可能性，这表明这一观念作为针对意外怀孕的一种重要手段，即使在堕胎非法的巴西环境下也是如此。在 86 名经历过怀孕的年轻人中，有 27 人报告曾诉诸堕胎（其中 20 名男性和 7 名女性）。研究结果表明了性别差异，并通过检查人工流产（公众和科学辩论中的一个隐藏维度）有助于了解少女怀孕。
This article aims to unveil the notion of abortion as an element in young people's thoughts on teenage pregnancy. The study analyzes data from semi-structured interviews with 123 young men and women 18-24 years of age in Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro, and Salvador, Brazil, belonging to different social strata. Based on information concerning their affective, sexual, and reproductive circumstances, an abortion typology was established with a gradient ranging from considering the act to the attempt to materialize it, actually submitting to abortion, and even ruling out the possibility of interrupting the pregnancy. According to the data, 73% of interviewees had considered the possibility of an abortion, demonstrating an important presence of this notion as a recourse vis-a-vis an unpredicted pregnancy, even in the Brazilian context where abortion is illegal. Among the 86 young people who had experienced a pregnancy, 27 reported having resorted to abortion (20 males and seven females). The results indicate gender differences and contribute to an understanding of teenage pregnancy by examining induced abortion, a hidden dimension in the public and scientific debate on this issue.
