Abstract:
Context: Abortion and unintended pregnancy in India is on the rise, and a large proportion of these unintended pregnancies end up in induced abortion. The soaring rate of abortion among Indian women can be influenced by a plethora of reasons. Aims: 1) To identify the rate of second trimester abortion2) To determine the reasons behind second trimester abortions Settings and design: An audit of all the abortions in a district of South India was conducted. Material and methods: The data was obtained from the records of abortion reported in the year 2018 from the District Health Office and analysed. Statistical analysis used: Descriptive statistics Results: Majority of the pregnant ladies with abortion (55.73%) were aged between 21-30 years and abortions in second trimester were observed to be comparatively higher (50%). Among the myriad of reasons found for second trimester abortions, spontaneous abortions contributed to around 30% while 11.92% had no cause mentioned. Conclusion: A high rate of second trimester abortion throws suspicion towards sex selective abortions.

Abstract:
AbstractBovine herpesvirus type 4 (BHV-4) is related to many different conditions: infertility, postpartal metritis, vulvovaginitis, mastitis, encephalitis, calf pneumonia, keratoconjunctivitis, cutaneous lesions, digital dermatitis and abortion. In this study a retrospective PCR examination of 100 extracted DNA samples from aborting cows was performed in order to determine: prevalence of BHV-4 in abortive cattle, whether coinfections BHV-4 with other abortifacient pathogens are present in the same sample and to determine the month of gestation when BHV-4 associated abortions were detected. Out of 100 examined samples, the BHV-4 genome was detected in 21 samples (21%). In two samples we detected coinfection of BHV-4 with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and in one withNeospora caninum. Most of the BHV-4-associated abortions were detected during the seventh month of gestation. It was concluded that an active BHV-4 infection was present among cows that aborted on the farms examined. The high prevalence of the BHV-4 genome in abortion material suggests that this virus may have cause the abortions. Further studies and examinations are needed to establish causative connection between presence of BHV-4 and abortion.

Abstract:
SUMMARY Objectives To estimate the extent to which abortion risk in dairy cattle during subsequent pregnancies was associated with congenitally-acquired Neospora caninum infection and previous abortions. Animals 468 Holstein cattle. Procedure Newborn heifer calves were tested for evidence of congenital infection attributable to N caninum and examined repeatedly until the completion of their second lactation for serologic status and evidence of abortion. Results Compared with noninfected cows, congenitally infected cows had a 7.4-fold higher risk of abortion during their initial pregnancy and a 1.7-fold higher risk of aborting the first pregnancy during their first lactation. During the first pregnancy of their second lactation, congenitally infected cows that had aborted previously had a 5.6-fold higher risk of abortion, compared with cows that had not previously aborted and that were seronegative. The fetal risk period for N caninum-associated death began sooner and extended later during the initial pregnancy, compared with subsequent pregnancies. Conclusion Congenitally acquired N caninum infection can cause a substantial number of abortions during the initial pregnancy of heifers, with abortion risk attributable to N caninum decreasing in subsequent pregnancies, possibly because of selective culling. Subsequent abortions can be expected in congenitally infected cows that have aborted previously. (Am J Vet Res 1997;58:1381–1385)

Abstract:
BackgroundData on utilisation of in-facility second-trimester abortion services are sparse. We describe temporal and geographical trends in utilisation of in-facility second-trimester abortion services across Mexico.MethodsWe used 2007–2015 data from Mexico’s Automated Hospital Discharge System (SAEH) to identify second-trimester abortive events (ICD O02-O08) in public hospitals across Mexico’s 32 states. We described utilisation, calculated rates using population data, and used logistic regression to identify woman- and state-level factors (municipality-level marginalisation, state-level abortion law) associated with utilisation of second-trimester versus first-trimester services.ResultsWe identified 145 956 second-trimester abortions, or 13.4% of total documented hospitalizations for abortion between 2007 to 2015. The annual utilisation rate of second-trimester abortion remained constant, between 0.5 to 0.6 per 1000 women aged 15–44 years. Women living in highly marginalised municipalities had 1.43 higher odds of utilising abortions services in their second versus their first trimester, when compared with women in municipalities with low marginalisation (95% CI 1.18 to 1.73). Living in a state with a health or fetal anomaly exception to abortion restrictions was not associated with higher utilisation of second-trimester abortion services.ConclusionsOur results suggest there is a need for all types of second-trimester abortion services in Mexico. To improve health outcomes for Mexican women, especially the most vulnerable, access to safe second-trimester abortion services must be ensured through the implementation of current legal exceptions and renewed attention to the training of healthcare providers.

Abstract:
Per vaginum evisceration through uterine perforation is a rare but potentially serious complication of clandestine abortion. early diagnosis and aggressive volume resuscitation enable major surgical management and reduce patient mortality. Serious complications include haemorrhage, infection and damage to surrounding organs (intestinal, urological). This is the report of two observations of evisceration per vaginum during a clandestine abortion by endo-uterine maneuver. The first patient, aged 20, nulliparous, presented to the emergency department with externalization of the bowel and ileal loop necrosis 3 hours after the abortion. In the majority of cases, surgical management is by laparotomy, but a laparoscopic procedure can be performed if the externalized viscera is the omentum. The post-operative course is straightforward, but the obstetrical prognosis remains guarded due to the sequelae of induced abortion. Despite efforts to raise young girls' awareness of the harmful effects of clandestine abortions and legislation against such practices, young girls are still being encouraged to undergo abortions with serious complications. Conclusion: we describe two cases of post-abortive intestinal evisceration, despite efforts to raise young women's awareness of the harmful effects of illegal abortions. Vaginal evisceration is a surgical emergency and treatment is mandatory without a diagnostic assessment. Efforts must be made to reduce the number of unsafe abortions.

Abstract:
Aim of the study: To investigate vaccination programs, parity, and calving season as factors affecting the risk of abortion and mummified fetuses in Holstein cows. Area of study: Hot zone of Northeast Mexico. Material and methods: Multiple logistic regression models were used to examine the relationship between peripartum disorders, parity, previous occurrence of abortion, season of calving, vaccination program, incidence of abortion, and mummified fetuses in Holstein cows. Main results: For 7014 pregnancies (2886 cows), the percentage of cows aborting and having mummified fetuses was 17.7 and 1.1, respectively. As the number of brucellosis vaccinations increased, the incidence of abortion increased (10.4% for a single vaccination and 38.0% for 6 accumulated vaccinations). Abortion for cows having 1-2 previous abortions (56%) and >2 abortions (77%) was fivefold and sevenfold greater (p<0.01), respectively, than that for cows without previous abortion. Other important risk factors for abortion were number of calvings (19.8% for nulliparous and primiparous vs. 13.8% for >3 parturitions; OR=1.7, p<0.01), leptospirosis vaccine application <55 days postpartum (dpp; OR=1.3, p<0.05), viral vaccine application >37 dpp (OR=1.3, p<0.01), brucellosis vaccine application >20 dpp (OR=1.6, p<0.01), and no application of clostridial vaccine (OR=3.7, p<0.01). Significant risk factors for mummified fetuses were application of ≥3 brucellosis vaccinations (OR=3.3, p<0.01), no application of 10-way clostridial vaccine (OR=2.3, p<0.01), >2 previous abortions (OR=18.4, p<0.01), and calving in autumn (OR=0.4, compared to winter, p<0.05). Research highlights: Risk of abortion and mummified fetuses in Holstein cows has been found to be related to vaccination programs.

Abstract:
Summary Various descriptive approaches were taken in a prospective investigation to characterize fetal loss in cows on a California dairy. The methods and observations were offered for consideration by practitioners engaged in dairy herd health medicine. For 4,732 pregnancies followed from 2,163 cows in a 6.5 year period, the respective proportions (percentage) of cows aborting (1 – cumulative proportion not aborting by 260 days) and abortion densities (abortions per 10,000 cow-days-at-risk) were 10.63 and 6.29 for all fetal deaths, 9.36 and 5.49 for deaths resulting in fetal expulsion, and 1.39 and 0.80 for deaths resulting in mummification. The greatest risk of fetal death (119 deaths/10,000 fetuses/d) was observed between 98 and 105 days of gestation, and median age at fetal death ranged from 99.0 to 105.5 days. Abortion density for fetal deaths resulting in mummification for cows conceiving during September (1.61/10,000 fetuses/d) and October (1.63/10,000 fetuses/d) was tenfold greater than that for cows conceiving in February (0.16/10,000 fetuses/d) and was twice that of the overall rate (0.84/10,000 fetuses/d). For cohorts of nonculled cows, abortion rate increased after 5 years of age, after 5 pregnancies, or after 4 calvings. For cows with at least one previous abortion, the proportion aborting (14.50%) was higher than that for cows without a previous abortion (12.14%). For a given gravidity, abortion rate was higher among cows that had experienced a previous abortion, compared with those that had not. These methods and observations may help provide a logical foundation on which to base clinical hypotheses regarding causes of abortion, and they may offer insight into pitfalls of bias and confounding to be anticipated.

Abstract:
When conducted in a legal setting and under safe conditions, abortion is an extremely effective and safe procedure. Tragically, almost half of all abortions that take place in the world are conducted under unsafe conditions, mostly in countries where abortion is illegal or highly restricted. These unsafe abortions are a major cause of maternal death and disability. Restricting a woman’s access to abortion does not prevent abortion but simply leads to more unsafe abortions. Barriers to safe abortion are many but include legal barriers, health policy barriers, shortages of trained healthcare workers, and stigma surrounding abortion. This commentary will consider some recent advances to improve access to safe abortion as well as refinements in abortion methods and service delivery in settings where safe abortion is available that further improve the care and wellbeing of women who seek abortion.

Abstract:
Introduction Existing research on postabortion emergency room visits is sparse and limited by methods which underestimate the incidence of adverse events following abortion. Postabortion emergency room (ER) use since Food and Drug Administration approval of chemical abortion in 2000 can identify trends in the relative morbidity burden of chemical versus surgical procedures. Objective To complete the first longitudinal cohort study of postabortion emergency room use following chemical and surgical abortions. Methods A population-based longitudinal cohort study of 423 000 confirmed induced abortions and 121,283 subsequent ER visits occurring within 30 days of the procedure, in the years 1999-2015, to Medicaid-eligible women over 13 years of age with at least one pregnancy outcome, in the 17 states which provided public funding for abortion. Results ER visits are at greater risk to occur following a chemical rather than a surgical abortion: all ER visits (OR 1.22, CL 1.19-1.24); miscoded spontaneous (OR 1.88, CL 1.81-1.96); and abortion-related (OR 1.53, CL 1.49-1.58). ER visit rates per 1000 abortions grew faster for chemical abortions, and by 2015, chemical versus surgical rates were 354.8 versus 357.9 for all ER visits; 31.5 versus 8.6 for miscoded spontaneous abortion visits; and 51.7 versus 22.0 for abortion-related visits. Abortion-related visits as a percent of total visits are twice as high for chemical abortions, reaching 14.6% by 2015. Miscoded spontaneous abortion visits as a percent of total visits are nearly 4 times as high for chemical abortions, reaching 8.9% of total visits and 60.9% of abortion-related visits by 2015. Conclusion The incidence and per-abortion rate of ER visits following any induced abortion are growing, but chemical abortion is consistently and progressively associated with more postabortion ER visit morbidity than surgical abortion. There is also a distinct trend of a growing number of women miscoded as receiving treatment for spontaneous abortion in the ER following a chemical abortion.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Jewish women have been speaking publicly about their abortions for decades, even before it was legal to have an abortion. Many Jews have also written about their abortions and published them. These are the stories featured in this collection. Abortion stories reveal the way people think morally about their abortions, the complexities around accessing care, and the work that still needs to be done in reducing stigma for people who have had abortions. The fifteen narratives here do not reflect all of the abortion experiences among Jews in the United States, but they do contain a range of abortion experiences. Sharing these stories and teaching with these stories will expand understanding and normalize abortion. Having an abortion is a moral act. These narratives from Jews who have had abortions reveal that these abortions are motivated by their religious identities, in one way or another.

Abstract:
Background: Restrictions on induced abortion varies widely across the globe and so does the rate of induced abortion and maternal mortality (MM). Safe abortions – done by trained providers in hygienic settings and early medical abortions carry fewer health risks and reduce maternal mortality rates (MMR). However, nearly 7 million women in developing countries are treated for complications from unsafe abortions annually, and at least 22,000 die from abortion-related complications every year. Aim: The aim was to explore national and regional patterns of abortion laws, the abortions percentages and the maternal mortality rates (MMR), to see if patterns could be distinguished and how they differentiate to each other. Method: With a shape-file containing polygons representing the world’s countries, and the computer program ArcMap, was used to gather and join data. Result: The result showed that many African countries has a restrictive abortion law, and they also have a high MMR. In the Nordic countries they have a liberalized abortion law and they have low MMR. Another finding is that a restricted abortion law does not correspond to a low percentage of abortions. This is clearly demonstrated in South America, where they have a high abortion percentage, and extremely restricted abortion laws. Conclusion: This result revealed patterns showing that countries with restricted abortion laws, does not contribute to a low MMR, and restricted abortion law does not decrease the percentage of abortions.

The dissertation topic is the right to abortion. It will be divided into three chapters which will each focus on different level of the issue. The first one focuses on the practice itself from a more scientific point of view. It will show data about safe and unsafe abortion procedures, specific methods, treatments and contraceptives and lastly it will analyse the current abortion access situation amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The second chapter will examine the legal level. Specifically, it will illustrate the law from an historical and geographical perspective, then it will move to the display of women’s reproductive rights and past judgements that are particularly important. Lastly, the third chapter will target the specific case of Poland which changed the legal ground to obtain an abortion in 2021 following a constitutional court decision. It will do so by examining firstly the parliamentary debate and then the political debate.

Resumo: Introdução: A interrupção voluntária da gravidez, proibida no Brasil, pode levar a situações de abortamento inseguro, que é reconhecidamente um grave problema de saúde pública. É necessário conhecer as circunstâncias envolvidas nesta situação para que seja possível compreender melhor o contexto em que as mulheres recorrem a um abortamento, bem como identificar subgrupos com necessidades especiais de atendimento pelos serviços de saúde. Objetivo: Avaliar alguns fatores sociodemográficos e epidemiológicos associados à interrupção voluntária da gestação. Sujeitos e métodos: Estudo descritivo analítico de corte transversal envolvendo o envio de um questionário estruturado e pré-testado a 15.800 funcionários de uma entidade pública do Estado de São Paulo. Os questionários preenchidos pelos participantes foram enviados de volta em envelope resposta pré-selado. Foram preenchidos 1660 questionários (11% de taxa de resposta), nos quais houve 296 gestações indesejadas e, destas, 165 terminaram em aborto induzido voluntário. Foram realizadas análises bivariada e multivariada por regressão de Poisson para estudar a associação entre a ocorrência de um aborto quando diante de uma gravidez indesejada com algumas características sociodemográficas selecionadas. Resultados: Um quinto dos participantes relatou vivenciar uma gravidez indesejada anterior, e 55,7% deles recorreram ao abortamento naquela ocasião. As maiores proporções de decisão e realização do abortamento foram encontradas entre os participantes do sexo masculino (62,1%), que tinham de 18 a 24 anos por ocasião da gravidez de sua parceira (62,3%), sem filhos (58,9%), não unidos (61,7%) e entre os respondentes com escolaridade superior (70,3%). A maioria das interrupções foi realizada por um médico e pouco mais de 10% dos participantes relataram ter feito uso do misoprostol. A maioria dos abortos (45%) realizou-se entre 1980 e 1989. Dentre os respondentes que referiram aborto realizado por médico, mais da metade (54%) ocorreram na mesma década (entre 1980 e 1989). Dentre aqueles que fizeram uso de misoprostol, 58% o fizeram entre 1990 e 1999. Os participantes relataram que 22,9% das mulheres que abortaram necessitaram de atendimento médico após o aborto e 16,6% foram internadas após recorrerem ao aborto. Conclusão: Na amostra estudada foi possível verificar que um de cada dois dos respondentes por ocasião de uma gravidez indesejada optou pelo abortamento. Chama atenção que as pessoas tiveram acesso a condições menos inseguras para interromper uma gestação indesejada, ainda que num contexto de ilegalidade dessa prática
Abstract: Introduction: Unsafe abortion is a serious public health problem in Brazil and other countries where it is considered a crime. It's necessary to understand the context of these abortions to approach the issue . Objective: To evaluate some sociodemographic and epidemiological factors associated with induced abortion. Method: Cross-sectional study. A self-responded questionnaire was sent to 15.800 employees of a public organization. 1660 questionnaires were completed. There were 296 unintended pregnancies and 165 induced abortions. Bivariate and multivariate Poisson regression analyses were performed to explore the association between the occurrence of abortion when faced an unintended pregnancy with some sociodemographic characteristics. Findings: One fifth of respondents reported an unintended pregnancy and 55.7% of those respondents resorted to abortion. The highest rates of abortion were found among male participants (62.1%) who were between 18 and 24-years-old at the time of pregnancy (62.3%), childless (58.9%), not united (61.7%) and with a college education (70.3%). Most of the respondent's abortions were performed by a doctor, and 17.8% of participants reported misoprostol use. Medical attention was necessary for 22.9% of these women after abortion and 16.6% were hospitalized. Most abortions (45%) took place between 1980 and 1989, and 54% of respondents who had abortions in this decade resorted to a doctor. Those who used misoprostol, 58% did between 1990 and 1999. Conclusion: In this sample we observed that half of respondents opted for abortion during an unintended pregnancy. It is noteworthy that people had access to fewer unsafe conditions for stopping an unintended pregnancy, even in the context of illegal practice

Abstract:
This research examines men’s talk around abortion using critical discourse analysis. Current literature indicates a dearth of studies addressing the topic of men and abortion in various domains. An understanding of men’s relationship to abortion, however, is crucial to understanding abortion as a social phenomenon. This study utilises the work of Foucault around discourse and power, as well as Butler’s work on gender to create a theoretical framework to approach data. Data were collected in the form of interview groups made up of men, as well as newspaper articles and on-line forum discussions that featured men as the author. What emerged from theses texts was a ‘Familial Discourse’ which posits the nuclear, heterosexual family as a long term relationship between a mother and father, which forms the ideal site to raise children. Discourses that support the family are a discourse of ‘Equal Partnership’ which establishes the man and the woman as being in a heterosexual relationship where each partner is seen to have equal power, and a discourse of ‘Foetal Personhood’ which constructs the foetus as a child in need of a family. Related to the heterosexual matrix, the formation of a family unit comes to be constructed as ‘natural’. Abortion acts as a disruptor to these discourses. By disrupting the formation of the family unit, abortion negatively affects the individuals involved. A relationship where a formation of a family unit was disrupted cannot survive. If the female partner has an abortion without her partner, it is seen as disrupting the equal partnership between the man and the woman. Men in this case see themselves as ‘powerless’ compared to women. From this point a ‘New Man’ discourse emerges, where men position themselves as loving and responsible in the context of a nuclear, heterosexual family unit. Abortion disrupts ‘Foetal Personhood’ and is constructed as murder. In the case of rape the ‘Familial Discourse’ can be invoked either to justify abortion or resist abortion, based on whether or not a family unit can be formed. These discourses reproduce patriarchy.

Abstract:
In Italy, the “traditional” form of family revaluated by fascist dogma is one of the pillars of the society. Women have a central role to maintain, protect and support this form of family. Many Italian women, the State, the media and the Church, all act to safeguard this reality, seeking to remove all obstacles that can challenge the family. Abortion is considered as one of these obstacles and it has been a much debated topic in Italy over the years. Abortion was made legal in Italy in 1978 with a widely discussed law. The Italian Abortion Act, despite being the object of debates, critics and two referenda supported by all Parliamentary factions, has never been modified. In 2002, with the introduction of RU 486 at the Sant’Anna of Turin all debates about abortion started up again accompanied by a strong opposition to the implementation of the drug. The purpose of this study is to better understand the social definition of the female condition in Italy analysing the obstacles to the implementation of chemical abortion in Italy. In order to evaluate the role of both the Italian Government and society in obstructing the introduction of RU 486 in Italy, historical and secondary sociological data were collected and a series of interviews and a participant observation in a selection of Italian hospitals were conducted. A comparative study between Italy and the UK was also conducted. The results of this study seem to prove how the majority of Italian women, in opposition to feminist theory, prioritize family, femininity and maternity, considering career as necessary mainly from an economic point of view. Abortion is now considered by the young generation as something avoidable and no longer associated with women’s right to choose or as an expression of “self-determination”. This strong “traditionalistic” attitude seems to be caused by the inability of the Italian State to implement its laws and by the direct and indirect influence of the Catholic Church.

Abstract:
Despite the high public profile of abortion, and the fact that men play a shared role in the creation of any pregnancy, men have been accorded little visibility in research, debates and the media in relation to abortion. This study argues the importance of conducting research with men in relation to (1) the decision-making process to have an abortion, (2) the male role and the provision of support, (3) the psychological responses of men involved in an abortion and (4) the positioning of men with regard to the moral aspects of abortion. A further research aim was to explore how men involved in abortion speak about responsibility in relation to contraception. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with eight men ranging in age from 25-34 yrs, whose respective partners / ex-partners had undergone a legal abortion for reasons other than foetal abnormality within the last eight years. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was employed as the primary method of analysis, while Foucauldian Discourse Analysis was used to address the research aim regarding contraception. The main findings were that in the decision-making process to have an abortion the men experienced feelings of powerlessness, compounded by ineffective communication with their partners. The men tended to feel that they lacked a role in relation to abortion and they appeared somewhat uncomfortable within a support role. There were both positive and negative responses to the abortion, including feeling relief, becoming more responsible, being wary of future relationships and feeling shame. The men appeared to attempt to distance themselves from thinking about the moral aspects of abortion. Finally, men's cultural positioning in relation to contraception (as not responsible and marginalised) was very apparent in their talk about contraception in the context of abortion. The importance of placing psychological research within the social context was discussed and the results suggested that the male participants' experiences of abortion were strongly influenced by dominant societal discourses about men and women. It was argued that abortion is a topic that challenges the traditional gender roles. The possible implications of the research, alongside a continued increase in the visibility of men in relation to abortion, were discussed regarding men's and women's experiences of abortion, further research, service provision and social policy.

Abstract:
The COVID - 19 pandemic that swept the world in 2020 and the reactions of state authorities to it are unparalleled events in modern history. In order to protect public health, states have limited a number of fundamental human rights that individuals have in accordance with national constitutions and international conventions. The focus of this paper is the right of access to abortion in the Member States of the European Union. In Europe, the situation with regard to the recognition of women's right to abortion is quite clear. All member states of the European Union, with the exception of Poland and Malta, recognize the rather liberal right of a woman to have an abortion in a certain period of time after conception. However, Malta and Poland, as members of the European Union, since abortion is seen as a service, must not hinder the travel of women abroad to have an abortion, nor restrict information on the provision of abortion services in other countries. In 2020, a pandemic highlighted all the weaknesses of this regime by preventing women from traveling to more liberal countries to perform abortions, thus calling into question their right to choose and protect their sexual and reproductive rights. This is not only the case in Poland and Malta, but also in countries that recognize the right to abortion but make it conditional on certain non-medical conditions, such as compulsory counselling; and the mandatory time period between applying for and performing an abortion; in situations present in certain countries where the problem of a woman exercising the right to abortion is a large number of doctors who do not provide this service based on their right to conscience. The paper is divided into three parts. The aim of the first part of the paper is to consider all the legal difficulties that women face in accessing abortion during the COVID -19 pandemic, restrictions that affect the protection of their dignity, right to life, privacy and right to equality. In the second part of the paper particular attention will be paid to the illiberal tendencies present in this period in some countries of Central and Eastern Europe, especially Poland. In the third part of the paper, emphasis will be put on the situation in Malta where there is a complete ban on abortion even in the case when the life of a pregnant woman is in danger.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION Abortion-related complications are one of the five main causes of maternal mortality. However, research about abortion is very limited in fragile and conflict-affected settings. We aimed to describe the severity of abortion-related complications and contributing factors in two MSF-supported referral hospitals; one in a rural setting, northern Nigeria, and one in the capital city, Bangui, in the Central African Republic (CAR). METHODS This cross-sectional mixed-methods study included four components: 1) a clinical study using prospective review of medical records for women presenting with abortion-related complications between November 2019 and July 2021; 2) a quantitative survey among hospitalized women, to identify contributing factors for severe complications; 3) a qualitative study to understand the care pathways of women with severe complications; and 4) a knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) survey among health professionals providing post-abortion care in the two hospitals. The clinical study and the quantitative survey used the methodology of the WHO multi-country study on abortion led in 11 sub-Saharan African countries in stable contexts. ETHICS This study was approved by the MSF Ethics Review Board, the Central African Republic’s Comité Scientifique Chargé de la Validation des Protocoles d’Etude et des Résultats de Recherche en Santé, and by the Guttmacher Institute International Review Board. RESULTS 520 and 548 women comprised the clinical study enrollees for the Nigerian and CAR settings, respectively; of these, 360 and 362, respectively, participated in the quantitative survey. Of these women, 66 in Nigeria and 18 in CAR were interviewed for the qualitative study. Lasty, 140 and 84 health providers in Nigeria and CAR, respectively, participated in the KAP survey. The severity of abortion complications was high: 348 (67%) and 278 (50,7%) of women had a severe complication (potentially life-threatening, near-miss, or death) respectively in Nigerian and CAR hospitals. The KAP survey showed that almost 60% and 91% of health providers in Nigerian and CAR hospitals respectively, personally knew a woman who had died from abortion complications. Among women who did not have severe bleeding (146 in Nigeria and 231 in CAR), anemia was nonetheless frequent, affecting 66.7% of women in Nigeria and 37.6% in CAR. Among women participating in the quantitative survey, 23% in Nigeria and 45% in CAR reported having induced their abortion. Among them, 97% in Nigeria and almost 80% in CAR used unsafe methods. In CAR, qualitative data indicated that these included unsafe instrumental evacuations performed by unskilled individuals, and self-administered decoctions of traditional ingredients such as herbs, roots, or vegetables, ingested either alone or in combination with pharmaceutical drugs. In Nigeria, 50% did not want to be pregnant but fewer than 3% reported using contraception at the start of the index pregnancy. In CAR, 56% did not want the pregnancy, but 37% of women reported using contraception at its start. Women faced long delays accessing care, with 50% of hospitalized women in both settings taking two or more days to reach adequate post-abortion care after the onset of symptoms. Nevertheless, delays were worse in Nigeria where 27% took six days or more to access those care, versus 16% in CAR. Qualitative data indicated that factors implicated in longer delays included delayed recognition of danger signs necessitating medical care, unsuccessful attempts to self-manage symptoms, internalized stigma causing fear of disclosure among women reporting induced abortion, and in Nigeria, requiring permission to seek care. In both settings, structural barriers associated with lack of capacity and low quality of care in local health care structures, and transport difficulties to access adequate care also increased delays. Lastly, despite restrictive legal environments in both contexts, the KAP survey revealed that most health providers (74% in Nigeria and 67% in CAR) considered that access to safe abortion care was the right of every woman. CONCLUSION Our data suggests a higher severity of abortion-related complications, as compared to WHO data from African hospitals in more stable settings. Factors that could contribute to such high severity include greater delays in accessing post-abortion care, decreased access to contraception and safe abortion care, resulting in unsafe abortions; and food insecurity leading to iron deficiencies and chronic anaemia. The results highlight the need for better access to safe abortion care, contraception, and high-quality post-abortion care, to prevent and manage complications of abortions in fragile and conflict-affected settings.

Abstract:
Abortion in Islamic jurisprudence is a negative condition that has spread and spread in most countries of the world in the modern era, as a result of the absence of religion from the lives of many people, the spread of adultery, and the disturbance of values and morals. That in 1984 to fifty million and then increased to double the number of cases in developing countries. This is a dangerous phenomenon ،so it was necessary to have a lot of studies and legal rulings available to address it. I divided my research into two sections, and each topic includes several demands. The first topic includes the concept of abortion and has several demands. Abortion As for the second topic, it dealt with the rule of abortion and includes three demands. The first demand is the rule of abortion before the soul is breathed in. The second requirement is the rule of abortion after the soul is blown. The third demand is the legal punishment of abortion, hoping for success from God Almighty

Abstract:
Training midlevel providers (midwives, nurses, and other nondoctor providers) to conduct surgical aspiration abortions and manage medical abortions has been proposed as a way of increasing women’s access to safe abortion in developing countries. It is important to know if abortion procedures administered by midlevel providers are more or less effective and safe than those administered by doctors.

Abstract:
This report represents the first comprehensive compilation of information about abortion in Sub-Saharan Africa and its four subregions. It offers a panorama of this hard-to-measure practice by assembling data on the incidence and safety of abortion, the extent to which the region’s laws restrict abortion, and how these laws have changed between 2000 and 2019. Many countries in this region have incrementally broadened the legal grounds for abortion, improved the safety of abortions, and increased the quality and reach of postabortion care. There is still much progress to be made, however, including enabling the region’s women to avoid unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions. The report concludes with recommendations for a broad range of actors to improve the sexual and reproductive health and autonomy of the region’s 255 million women of reproductive age.

Foreit, James R. Postabortion family planning benefits clients and providers. Population Council, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh16.1006.

Full text
Abstract:
A woman’s fertility can return quickly following an abortion or miscarriage, yet recent data show high levels of unmet need for family planning (FP) among women who have been treated for incomplete abortion. This leaves many women at risk of another unintended pregnancy and in some cases subsequent repeated abortions and abortion-related complications. It is thus vital for programs to provide a comprehensive package of postabortion care (PAC) services that includes medical treatment, FP counseling and services, and other reproductive health services such as evaluation and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, HIV counseling and/or testing, and community support and mobilization. Providing FP services within PAC benefits clients and programs. Facilities that can effectively treat women with incomplete abortions can also provide contraceptive services, including counseling and appropriate methods. As stated in this brief, any provider who can treat incomplete abortion can also provide selected FP methods. Clients, providers, and programs benefit when FP methods are provided to postabortion clients at the time of treatment.

Full text
Abstract:
One of the most topical areas in reproductive health today is the consequences of induced and often unsafe abortion. Safe motherhood initiatives continue to highlight the contribution of unsafe abortion to the persistent high rates of maternal mortality and morbidity in sub-Saharan Africa. In some countries, unsafe abortion is responsible for up to half of all maternal mortality and morbidity, with adolescents constituting a significant proportion of those procuring unsafe abortions. In Kenya, concern about the problem of incomplete and septic abortion has increased, particularly on the part of service providers who must treat women suffering from the complications of poorly performed procedures. Debate about what can be done to reduce the negative consequences of unsafe abortion ranges from highly emotional arguments to pragmatic policies and programs. In 1998, in response to requests for assistance from Kenyan policymakers, the Population Council embarked on a four-year collaborative program to document the magnitude and nature of the problem of unsafe abortion. With assistance from the Population Council, researchers from the Centre for the Study of Adolescence designed and implemented a package of eight studies. This monograph provides a summary of the findings of these studies.

Huntington, Dale. Meeting women's health care needs after abortion. Population Council, 2000. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2000.1036.

Full text
Abstract:
Women who seek emergency treatment for abortion complications—bleeding, infection, and injuries to the reproductive tract system—should be a priority group for reproductive health care programs. These women often receive poor-quality services that do not address their multiple health needs. They may be discharged without counseling on postoperative recuperation, family planning (FP), or other reproductive health (RH) issues. Women who have had an induced abortion due to an unwanted pregnancy are likely to have a repeat abortion unless they receive appropriate FP counseling and services. Preventing repeat unsafe abortions is important for RH programs because it saves women's lives, protects women’s health, and reduces the need for costly emergency services for abortion complications. At the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development, the world's governments called for improvements in postabortion medical services. As part of the resulting international postabortion care initiative, the Population Council’s Operations Research and Technical Assistance projects worked collaboratively to conduct research on interventions to improve postabortion care. This brief summarizes the major findings of this research and relevant studies by other international organizations.
