[Mothers Talk. Part Unless Told of Voluntary Abortion]

The aim of the study was to investigate the experiences linked to the post-abortion syndrome in mothers who have had a voluntary abortion. A phenomenological qualitative approach to collect the experiences of mothers who had voluntarily interrupted their pregnancy was used. The research technique was the semistructured interviews with women who had contacted different association's help of the Murcia region for support after experiencing symptoms consistent with post-abortion syndrome. The testimonies show feminist or utilitarian arguments to justify the decision to abort, they talk about a system, to some extent, mercantilist that has no real intention of giving real life choices. Experience shows that far from lived as an act of female freedom is experienced traumatically, developed symptoms following the sense of loss. In this context, the resource spiritual becomes the best tool to expiate guilt. The experience of abortion does not improve the lives of women; far from it is a trauma that can be avoided with proper advice to avoid the tragedy of abortion.
