Abstract

Portuguese Abstract: No contexto de uma série de investigações acerca da realidade do abortamento inseguro no Brasil, é analisado, neste artigo, um dos inúmeros casos coletados em pesquisa realizada no estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Através desse caso, será possível demonstrar os caminhos e descaminhos de mais uma trajetória na qual fica exposta a baixa qualidade da assistência à saúde da mulher com gestação de alto risco e a injustiça social que a permeia, apesar da existencia de normativas que regulamentam a atenção humanizada à Mulher, do Ministério da Saúde.

English Abstract: In the context of a series of surveys on the reality of unsafe abortion in Brazil, this article presents one case study documented during public health and human rights oriented research carried out in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Through the Elineide case it is possible to present the personal trajectory of this woman with high risk pregnancy and the social injustice that permeates lack of access to good quality of care despite of existing regulations on humanized care of the Ministry of Health in Brazil. The professional conduct of health providers in this case reveals a pattern of care which rely on the religious beliefs and inherent sacrifices of pregnant women privileging their pregnancy continuation facing health and life risks violating their human rights.
