Abortion and accident proneness
The hypothesis that women who experience accidental pregnancy are at risk for all types of accident has been examined to test indirectly the validity of a commonly postulated abortion personality profile. Identified women undergoing abortion in Odense, Denmark, were compared with non-abortion community women as to their registered incidence of accident-related trauma over a 2-year period. Age- and cause-specific accident rates were found not to v…
Repeat Abortion in Denmark
The abortion registration system maintained by the Danish government permits an analysis of abortion incidence by individual. Using computer techniques to sort all the abortion records for the 15-month period from October 1973, when the abortion law was liberalized, through December 1974, it has been possible to determine the rate of repeat abortion and some demographic variables associated with it. Of the women who experienced induced abortion i…
Abortion views and practices among Danish family physicians
Sixty-seven GPs from a suburb of Copenhagen were interviewed regarding their experience with and opinion of induced abortion. The younger physicians in the sample were (a) significantly more experienced in areas of medical practice relating to abortion care, (b) significantly more positive in their attitude towards abortion, and (c) significantly more likely to emphasize the provision of contraceptive services to women undergoing pregnancy termin…
The Impact of Liberalized Abortion Legislation on Contraceptive Practice in Denmark
During the fifteen months following the 1973 Danish abortion legislation, the mean annual rate of induced abortion was 23 per 1,000 women aged 15-44 compared with a mean annual rate of 14.5 during the 15 preceding months. Though use of legal abortion has increased, the rate is not of a magnitude to suggest large-scale abandonment of contraception. On the contrary, preconceptive fertility control continues to be widely practiced
