Abstract
The problem of artificial termination of pregnancy remains one of the unsolved problems of our time. The article presents the concept and structural feature of the phenomenon of artificial termination of pregnancy. The traditional approach to the study of the phenomenon, which is based on the category “society”, is considered. The insufficiency of this approach is explained: the limitation of the social aspect of the study of the phenomenon, an incomplete idea of the reasons for its spread. The article analyzes the approach to the study of social reality based on the category “social practice”, which appeared in sociology at the turn of the 1980. The analysis showed that this approach is aimed at studying not the phenomena themselves, but the repeated actions of individuals, the totality of which is a social practice. The article presents the stages of the formation of social practice, its signs, based on which the author came to the conclusion that the set of actions for termination of pregnancy, reproduced by individual individuals, is a social practice, which means that the proposed approach is possible to study the phenomenon of artificial termination of pregnancy. It will make it possible to trace the process of formation of the social practice of artificial termination of pregnancy, to determine its impact on the behavior of an individual and on social subjects; to identify a set of reasons that influence an individual’s decision to terminate pregnancy; which together will lead to the definition and development of more effective methods of regulating the practice of artificial termination of pregnancy.
