Summary/Abstract: In Poland, abortion is particularly engaging to discuss political and religious elite. For many years the debate on the rights of women to abortion increases during election campaigns. Sociologists focus on the study of social facts, highlighting the links between them and building general rules. Art as a social fact is of interest to the sociology of culture and art. The aim of this paper is to compare scientifc discourse, sociological discourse about abortion and art ( theater). Theatre and monographic studies about the phenomenon of abortions allow to keep track of correspondence of art and social reality. The article describes the selection of theater on the phenomenon of abortion from the perspective of the story and creative motivation.
