Resumen

SILVA, Rebeca de Souza e. Cegonhas indesejadas: aborto provocado. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 1993, vol.01, n.01, pp.123-134. ISSN 1806-9584.

In an unusual approach to the theme of induced abortion, Rebeca de Souza e Silva identifies the groups of women that are most prone to taking recourse to this practice, often because pregancy has resulted from adultery, incest, or rape. She then reports briefly on induced abortions In the world and Brazil, from the perspective of population studies. The author goes on to present a novel interviewing method, the Random Response Technique, providing more realistic results for evaluating incidences of induced abortion, a practice that is frequently omitted under previous interviewing methods. The case study was carried out In Vila Madalena, São Paulo.
