2004 DEC 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Researchers in Mexico have identified strategies used by low-income women in their country to deal with the stigma attached to abortion there.

Study subjects were "lowest income Mexican women attended for abortion-related complications in a public hospital. The objective was to investigate the women's experience of having a so-called 'spontaneous' abortion and their related strategies to avoid stigmatization," said J. Erviti and colleagues, National Autonomous University of Mexico.

They reported that "four strategies emerge from women's testimonies:

1) "presenting themselves as women who 'play by the rules'

2) "pleading ignorance of the pregnancy

3) "stating that they had already accepted their pregnancy

4) "presenting the abortion as the result of an accident."
