DROVETTA, Raquel Irene. The Practice of Abortion in the Hands of Feminists in the 70s. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.2, e67176. Epub 01-Maio-2021. ISSN 1806-9584. https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2021v29n267176.
The article analyzes the main characteristics of the abortion services performed by feminist organizations in cities of the United States, Italy, and France between 1989 and 1978. These organizations practiced underground abortions, without medical attention. We carried out a historical reconstruction and a comparative analysis of the main aspects of the organizations, based on scientific research, information found on popular science articles (radio, newspaper, and movies), activists' testimonies and documents of that time now available to be consulted. Among the main conclusions, we highlight the importance given to the political objective pursued by opening abortion centers, the slow evolution of the responsibilities taken by their members and the attention to women based on a feminist praxis.
