Results: positive aspects inherent to the care received were observed, but at times, care was linked to socially established ethical and moral precepts, which led to judgments of value by professionals. Conclusion: it is necessary to broaden the debate among health professionals to establish comprehensive assistance to women in situations of abortion to ensure their sexual and reproductive rights.
