Abstract
This article approaches to the resistance of two Ecuadorian women through their experiences of abortion, in a context of legal and social penalization. It inquires about the links between those experiences and the figure of the mother, an archetype of the denying of women’s sexual placer and the association sex/reproduction, which places woman in the center of reproduction.
