OBJECTIVE: To analyze the statements of nursing professionals regarding healthcare provided to women in process of induced abortion. METHODS: Case study with qualitative approach, performed at a public maternity hospital in Salvador BA; data were obtained with the focus group technique, using content analysis. RESULTS: The nursing team professionals perceive abortion as a crime, a sin, and healthcare as discriminatory. The woman's right to speech is denied, with silence being observed along the abortion process. CONCLUSION: The absence of dialogue at the healthcare services makes the possibility of humanized care delivery more distant, turning the implantation of healthcare humanization policies for women in the process of induced abortion a challenge.
