This research endeavors to provide a thorough examination of the often underestimated but profoundly influential role of shame in the process of abortion decision-making. Despite its prevalence and the frequency of abortion procedures, conversations surrounding this topic remain clouded by stigma and societal taboos, which can significantly impact individuals' experiences and mental well-being. Through a meticulous analysis of existing literature and empirical data, this study aims to bridge the existing gap in understanding regarding abortion, elucidating the factors that influence individuals' decisions and the intricate emotional landscapes they navigate. Central to our investigation is the recognition of shame as a critical element in shaping attitudes towards abortion, both on individual and societal levels. By illuminating the complexities of this phenomenon we advocate for the importance of destigmatization efforts, the provision of comprehensive mental health support, and the cultivation of supportive environments that foster open and empathetic dialogue about abortion. Ultimately, our research underscores the imperative of prioritizing the voices and experiences of those directly affected, with the aim of fostering a more compassionate and inclusive society where individuals can make informed reproductive choices free from the burden of shame and judgment.
