The article reflects on police investigations that led to 14 criminal prosecutions for induced abortion in Rio de Janeiro city between 2005 and 2019. Adopting an approach informed by the Sociology of Morality, I propose to analyze the moralities involved in the construction of police inquiries from the social accounts contained in the documents produced at police stations recording the depositions of the accused women and the witnesses involved in the criminal offense of induced abortion.
