Tema pobačaja kontroverzna je društvena tema koja izaziva društvene i političke promjene. To je jedna od tema koja izaziva društvene reakcije na političke odluke i koja utječe na formiranje i mijenjanje društvene strukture. Pokušaj izmjene zakona o pobačaju formirao je u Republici Hrvatskoj dvije suprotstavljene strane: “prolife” odnosno “za život” i “prochoice” odnosno “za izbor”. Te strane čine zapravo glavne aktere ovog sukoba. Veliki utjecaj na aktera pri odabiru strane ima religijska, obrazovna i politička struktura društva u kojem se akter nalazi. Sudionici sukoba koriste inicijative, peticije i prosvjede kao odgovor na političke odluke. Cilj ovog rada je istražiti društveno-politički sukob u Republici Hrvatskoj koji je nastao pokušajem izmjene postojećeg Zakona o pobačaju. Da bi analiza bila uspješna treba istražiti o identitetu aktera, njihovoj strukturi i poziciji, važnost sukoba za aktere te tko su im saveznici, a tko protivnici te kojim se sredstvima, resursima i izvorima moći koriste kako bi uspjeli u ostvarenju svojih ciljeva.The subject of abortion is a contraversial social theme that causes social and political changes.
