- Abstract
- Abortion has long existed in our society and in our history. It has long been prohibited and it has been legal I Sweden since 1934 under the circumstances that the mother’s life was threatened. It took until 1975 to become legal under all circumstances until pregnancy week eighteen. Even if abortion today has been long legal there still exists a stigma around it.

My purpose with this study is to learn about people’s attitudes around abortion and how the religions relate to abortion and social norms. By conducting 200 questionnaires and 5 interviews I have been able to explore the social norms around the law of abortion. The results of my study showed that people in general are very positive towards abortion and that religion is not that positive. The study also revealed that the opinions of abortion are coming from our education and our upbringing, which shows that religious rules and believes are only for those who see themselves as religious. The abortion law itself does not relate much at all to both religion and social norms, except for the fact that they all agree on that the choice of abortion are always the woman. (Less)
