Abstract

Objective: To describe the perception of managers of border cities about the law that
decriminalizes abortion in Uruguay.
Method: A qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, which conducted semi-structured
interviews in March 2017. Six municipal and health managers from border cities between
Brazil and Uruguay participated. The thematic analysis as described by Minayo was used.
Results: The managers pointed out that moral, religious and scientific arguments still permeate
the discussion, and recognized that these factors do not prevent the woman’s decision to
perform the abortion. The participants pointed out that there is a lack of information about
the abortion decriminalization law and the full monitoring of women. They agreed that they
should consider the large border flow, besides the dual citizenship that grants them rights.
Conclusion: This study can contribute to the debate on women’s rights in the abortion decision,
and support managers to discuss public health.
