  • Bill Baird and the Struggle for Abortion Rights in the USA

    Colin FrancomeARTICLEReproductive Health Matters2004

    I was very interested to see that on the front of your issue ‘‘Abortion: women decide’’ [RHM 11(19) May 2002] you had a photograph of a large historical poster of the Parent’s Aid Society in New York. This organisation was founded and run for many years by one of the characters of the USA pro-choice movement – Bill Baird. It led to me ringing him after a number of years of being out of contact. He told me he was still active and picketing the ant…

  • Recruitment and training of British obstetrician-gynaecologists for abortion provision

    Jane Roe, Colin Francome et al.ARTICLEReproductive Health Matters1999Citada por: 3

    Abortion has been legal in Britain for more than 30 years but local access to hospital-based abortion services within the National Health Service can range from less than 50 per cent to almost 100 per cent depending on where women live. Recently, a number of older gynaecologists in the UK expressed concerns that many trainee obstetrician-gynaecologists are not motivated to carry out abortions, as their own generation had been, by back-street botc…

  • Gynaecologists and abortion in Northern Ireland

    Open AccessColin FrancomeARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1994

    The evidence from gynaecologists in Northern Ireland shows confusion in interpretation and practice of abortion law, with some women even being denied abortion after rape. Over two-thirds of gynaecologists supported a change in the law which would leave the abortion decision to the woman and her doctor, but less than half wanted the introduction of the British law.

  • Unwanted Pregnancies Amongst Teenagers

    Open AccessColin FrancomeARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1983

    This article discusses the conflicting positions on the effectiveness of sex education and availability of birth control facilities in lowering the rate of teenage pregnancies. It provides evidence of a drop in the rate of teenage births only one-third of which can be accounted for by the rise in abortions. It concludes that teenagers must have been using birth control more effectively than in the early 1970s.

  • Births by Caesarean section in the United States of America and in Britain

    Open AccessColin Francome, Peter J HuntingfordARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1980

    The rise in Caesarian section rates has been much greater in the United States than in Britain. This article analyses the reasons for these trends and finds they are not clearly related to good medical practice. It is concluded that it should be a cause for concern if rates rise above 6% of live births. In this case operations must be shown to be in the best interests of the mothers and their babies.

  • Towards an understanding of the American abortion rate

    Open AccessCaroline Francome, Colin FrancomeARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1979

    This article considers the birth control experience of 800 patients for abortion in the United States and makes comparison with British data. The results uncover some cultural factors associated with non-use of contraception. Some suggestions are made as to social changes that would be desirable to reduce the abortion rate.

  • Estimating the number of illegal abortions

    Open AccessColin FrancomeARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1977

    This article considers the methods used to estimate the number of abortions before the 1967 Abortion Act came into operation. It suggests that the registration of legal abortions has enabled a new method to be used to calculate the number of illegal operations. The article concludes that the major effect of the Act was to transfer abortions from the illegal to the legal sector and, using the new method of calculation, estimates a total number of …
