Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed how British print media portrayed abortion in 2010 and found that most articles used negative language, framing abortion as risky and linked to discredited social practices, which contributes to social stigma.
  • The perspectives of women who have had abortions were largely absent or marginalized in the media reports, and few articles portrayed abortion as a positive or legitimate choice.
  • The findings suggest that negative media coverage helps perpetuate the stigma around abortion and women’s reproductive rights, highlighting the need for more positive and balanced portrayals to challenge this stigma.]
