The debate regarding the practice and role of abortion has been an enduring and problematic area of discourse within the nursing literature, with a tendency towards a polarized and inevitably simplistic analysis of what, for many practitioners, women and families, remains a highly complex and morally fraught concept. This paper attempts to explore the concept of abortion from within a feminist epistemology, to present a review of the literature as regards women's reproductive health and responsibilities, and thereby to contribute to the process of better understanding the role of abortion within contemporary health care practice. In order to facilitate the study it has been necessary to explore the wide spectrum of historical, philosophical, legal, moral and political imperatives pertaining to the meaning of abortion as represented within contemporary society, not only in relation to women and their reproductive health, but to feminism, women's well-being and self-determinism per se.
关于堕胎的实践与角色的争论，一直是护理文献中一个持久且存在问题的论述领域，对于许多从业者、女性和家庭而言，这一概念高度复杂且在道德上充满争议，但人们往往倾向于进行两极分化且不可避免地过于简单化的分析。本文试图从女性主义认识论的角度探讨堕胎概念，对有关妇女生殖健康与责任的文献进行综述，从而有助于更好地理解堕胎在当代医疗实践中的作用。为推动该研究，有必要探讨当代社会中与堕胎意义相关的广泛的历史、哲学、法律、道德和政治要求，这不仅涉及女性及其生殖健康，还涉及女权主义、女性福祉和自主决定权本身。
