Zusammenfassung:The present article relates the results of a research conducted between 2013 and 2015, which aimed to understand aspects of the experiences of women who have had illegal abortion. Eight women were interviewed. Unlike most studies on the theme, in the present investigation the majority of the women had high educational level and were involved with the feminist movement. We report the motivations for having an abortion, the details from the decision-making process and the influence of feminist ideas in the process of the women's decision. Keywords: Abortion; Motherhood; Sexuality; Experience Este artigo expoe resultados de uma pesquisa realizada entre 2013 e 2015 que visou a compreensao dos aspectos de experiencias de um grupo de mulheres que fizeram aborto clandestino. Os casos estudados envolveram mulheres com alto nivel de escolarizacao, as quais, em sua maioria, haviam participado de movimentos feministas, um perfil diferente daquele que tem sido objeto da maior parte dos trabalhos relatados na literatura. Foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com oito mulheres que interromperam a gravidez. A partir das analises, sao apresentadas as motivacoes, as duvidas e as certezas presentes no processo de tomada de decisao pelo aborto, bem como a influencia do envolvimento com o feminismo nesse processo.
