The objective was to investigate the women’s experience of having a so-called “spontaneous” abortion and their related strategies to avoid stigmatization. Four strategies emerge from women’s testimonies: presenting themselves as women who “play by the rules,” pleading ignorance of the pregnancy, stating that they had already accepted their pregnancy, or presenting the abortion as the result of an accident. Women use these strategies to deflect any blame to which they might be subjected and as a means of dealing with the stigma attached to a behavior that transgresses social norms regarding reproduction. Far from being passive receptors of the social imperative, which makes motherhood compulsory, women oscillate strategically within the margins of a seemingly uniform normative discourse and thereby ensure their moral survival. The authors discuss results within the framework of praxis theory.
