In this qualitative research, the author explored (in general) whether domestic violence and induced abortion feature in men's and women's sexual and reproductive health experiences. In particular, he explored whether and how gender roles influence reproductive decision-making behavior regarding contraception, unwanted pregnancy, and induced abortion. The study area was Wakiso district in central Uganda, which surrounds the capital city, Kampala. The author collected data using in-depth interviews and focus group discussions and analyzed them using grounded theory. Effects of unplanned pregnancy were perceived to be gender specific. Unintended pregnancy and induced abortion as a health issue did not concern men. Rather, what concerned them was spouses' contraception, which they often strongly opposed. Consequently, covert contraceptive use was common. The author describes a relation between domestic violence, nonuse of contraception, unintended pregnancy, and induced abortion
