Abstract
Most works that have examined abortion in Spain in the years after Franco's victory in 1939 have looked at the question through the prism of the repressive discourses of the state and those (male) professionals (doctors, lawyers) which the state paid to enforce the harsh laws against abortion or contraception. Using Court records from the 1940s, this article seeks to reinstate the voices of the women who chose to abort and those who tried to assist them, and suggests an alternative morality that was more tolerant of abortion than either Church or state.
