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:
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:
Objectives. To examine abortion utilization in Ohio from 2010 to 2018, a period when more than 15 abortion-related laws became effective. Methods. We evaluated changes in abortion rates and ratios examining gestation, geographic distribution, and abortion method in Ohio from 2010 to 2018. We used data from Ohio’s Office of Vital Statistics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Abortion Surveillance Reports, the American Community Survey, and Ohio’s Public Health Data Warehouse. Results. During 2010 through 2018, abortion rates declined similarly in Ohio, the Midwest, and the United States. In Ohio, the proportion of early first trimester abortions decreased; the proportion of abortions increased in nearly every later gestation category. Abortion ratios decreased sharply in most rural counties. When clinics closed, abortion ratios dropped in nearby counties. Conclusions. More Ohioans had abortions later in the first trimester, compared with national patterns, suggesting delays to care. Steeper decreases in abortion ratios in rural versus urban counties suggest geographic inequity in abortion access. Public Health Implications. Policies restricting abortion access in Ohio co-occur with delays to care and increasing geographic inequities. Restrictive policies do not improve reproductive health.

Abstract:
Through the 1970s the number of women who experienced an induced abortion increased in Norway. Thus, the population at risk for a repeat abortion has increased. The frequency of repeat abortions has doubled from 1972 to 1981. However, the annual frequency of observed repeat abortion has been below what could be expected according to contraceptive failure rates. There is no evidence that the liberalized abortion legislation has led to the use of induced abortion as a method of birth control. In order to improve fertility surveillance and to elucidate the epidemiology of induced abortion, there is a need for more detailed and individually based national registration of induced abortions as well as spontaneous abortions.

Abstract:
Prostitutes are vulnerable to unplanned pregnancies and abortions. In Brazil, abortion is a crime and there is no data about unsafe abortions for this population. The study describes how prostitutes perform illegal abortions and the health consequences thereof. Semi-structured interviews with 39 prostitutes from three cities in Brazil with previous induced abortion experience were conducted. Sixty-six abortions, with between one and eight occurrences per woman, were recorded. The majority of the cases resulted from sexual activity with clients. The inconsistent use of condoms with regular clients and the consumption of alcohol during work were indicated as the main causes of unplanned pregnancies. The main method to perform abortion was the intravaginal and oral use of misoprostol, acquired in pharmacies or on the black market. Invasive measures were less frequently reported, however with more serious health complications. The fear of complaint to the police meant that most women do not inform the health team regarding induced abortion. The majority of prostitutes aborted with the use of illegally-acquired misoprostol, ending abortion in a public hospital with infection and hemorrhagic complications. The data indicate the need for a public policy focusing on the reproductive health of prostitutes.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 199-213).
Unsafe abortion is a preventable phenomenon and continues to be a major public health problem in many countries especially in the developing world. Despite abortion being legally available in South Africa after a change in legislation in 1996, barriers to accessing safe abortion services continue to exist. These barriers include provider opposition to abortion, and a shortage of trained and willing abortion providers. The dearth of abortion providers undermines the availability of safe, legal abortion, and has serious implications for women's access to abortion services and health service planning.

Abstract:
Access to safe, legal abortion services is an important public health measure to address morbidity and mortality from unsafe abortion. To expand access and strengthen medical abortion provision in South Africa, evidence is needed on the safety, effectiveness, feasibility and acceptability of task sharing strategies and the implementation of evidence-based regimens. This research aims to: (a) evaluate the safety and acceptability of task sharing gestational age estimation for women seeking abortion, (b) determine the effectiveness and acceptability of text messaging on mobile phones to support women self-managing medical abortion, (c) evaluate the feasibility, safety and acceptability of self-assessment of medical abortion completion using mobile phones alone or in combination with a low-sensitivity pregnancy test, and (d) document clinical outcomes and women's experiences following the introduction of mifepristone into second trimester medical abortion services. Published or submitted papers included in this thesis are from four prospective studies evaluating interventions and interviewing women and health care workers in South African public sector and non-governmental clinics between 2011 and 2015. The first paper establishes that last menstrual period is sufficiently accurate to estimate gestational age in selected women (97%) and has potential to be task shared with community health workers or women themselves. The second paper reports reduced anxiety (p=0.013) and better preparedness (p=0.016) for self-managing abortion symptoms among women receiving automated text messages (compared to those receiving standard care). The third and fourth papers show that mobile phones are a feasible modality for self-assessment for most women (86%), but that clinical history needs to be combined with an appropriate pregnancy test to detect incomplete or failed procedures. Self-assessment using a low-sensitivity pregnancy test is preferred by most women (98%) to in-clinic follow-up, and providing a guided demonstration on the use of a low-sensitivity pregnancy test does not significantly impact on the accuracy of self-assessed abortion outcome compared to simple verbal instructions (88% vs. 85% accuracy; p=0.449). The fifth paper documents successful self-administration of mifepristone, a higher 24-hour abortion rate (93% vs 77%; p<0.001), and greater acceptability following the introduction of mifepristone into second trimester abortion care, compared to historic cohorts receiving misoprostol only. The thesis concludes that supported self-management and task sharing can strengthen medical abortion provision in South Africa. Research evaluating task sharing of medical abortion care has potential to inform similar approaches for other health care services.

Abstract:
Background: The Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act of 1996 makes provision for access to safe abortion, free of charge in government facilities in South Africa. Despite liberal abortion legislation, unsafe abortion persists in South Africa. Increasing access to information about safe and legal abortion providers through methods such as online databases, community health workers, and telephone hotlines will most likely decrease the number of women using illegal/unsafe abortion providers. This study aims to: determine how women prefer to access information on safe abortion providers and services in Cape Town, South Africa; determine which avenues of obtaining information are most accessible for women; and determine if there is a preferential difference in accessing information based on age, education and socioeconomic status. The purpose of this research is to provide knowledge on how to increase the accessibility of safe abortion providers and services through preferential information dissemination. Methods: Participants were recruited from Marie Stopes International South Africa, a non-profit organization (NGO) that provides sexual and reproductive health services in Cape Town, South Africa. Recruitment of participants took place between September and November 2017. Eligibility criteria included that participants be between 18 to 49 years of age and presenting for an abortion. Data was collected through a self-administered paper-based questionnaire. There were four sections of the questionnaire: Socio-Demographics, Reproductive History, Interactions with Sources of Health Information, and Preferred Method to Access Information. Results: Ninety-eight women completed the self-administered questionnaire. Over 59 % of women preferred to use the internet to access information about safe abortion providers. Participants had access to the internet via their mobile phones, computers, laptops, and tablets. Internet access was more accessible for women who had completed secondary school and/or acquired a post-secondary degree, was employed, and/or earned more than USD 258 a month. Participants also preferred to use health care providers (29%), and community health workers (20%) for accessing information about safe and legal abortion services. Conclusions: This study identified the most preferred and acceptable methods to access information about safe abortion providers by women at an NGO clinic in Cape Town. Community health workers, the internet and health care providers and hotlines should be used to formulate dissemination methods that are tailored to women in South Africa. Information about government facilities, their current abortion provision status, and the type of abortion services they provide should be compiled, continually updated, and made available to women in dissemination methods that are most preferred, accessible and acceptable to women. Options for socioeconomically disadvantaged women should be developed in conjunction with Internet-based options for accessing information about safe abortion providers and services.

Abstract:

Background: Abortion is the principle method of birth control in Armenia. There are few qualitative studies in the literature concerning family planning utilization and abortion practices, and only two studies carried out over a decade ago have addressed the larger social context in which family planning and abortion decision-making occurs.

Objectives: The purpose of the following research project was to investigate women's perceptions and experiences with contraception and abortion and elucidate the multifaceted and complex factors that influence family planning decisions and abortion seeking behavior among women of reproductive age in Armenia.

Methods and materials: Convenience sampling was used to recruit women and health providers for the study. In-depth interviews were carried out with all participants and content analysis was employed to analyze the data.

Results: Natural methods of contraception were primarily used over modern means due to socio-economic barriers; familial and peer influence; and negative perceptions. The use of induced abortion was primarily due to socio-economic conditions; a desire for birth spacing; and a desire to limit family size. Participants expressed that married couples generally share decision-making power regarding contraception and abortion with the exception of sex-selective abortions, in which husbands and/or the husband's family primarily make the decision. Reasons for son preference were tied to socio-economic conditions and the Armenian mentality regarding relative value of gender. The misuse of medical abortion was tied to socio-economic conditions; fear of surgical abortion; and misperceptions.

Discussion: Initiatives to reduce the unmet need for family planning should focus on education; expanding availability and accessibility of contraceptives; and empowerment of women. In regards to preventing unsafe abortion, initiatives should focus on health provider training and monitoring; making Cytotec available in pharmacies by prescription only; lowering the price of medical abortion at hospitals; and educating health providers and women about best practices. Concerning sex selection, policy changes should take place alongside initiatives that empower women and advance socio-economic well being.

Abstract:
Abortion is a present subject since earlier times and the interest in such subject increases as years pass, since it is a multidisciplinary issue with a relevant importance. Nowadays, abortion represents a serious issue in public health system, widely practiced through inadequate means that can lead to damages and cause the death of the woman. This subject has been added to Brazilian educational system through National Curriculum Guidelines by the development of the transversal subjects. In this context, this work aimed to analyze the action of elementary school teachers facing the sexuality subject, carry out an analysis of didactic books suggested by the National Program of Highschool Book and perform a comparative study of issues concerning abortion, according to the understanding of undergraduate students in Health and Human Sciences, including the comparison of the comprehension of the subject through the point of view of men and women in order to obtain the understanding of the youth about the subject. From these data it has been built a tool aiming to aid the teaching of the abortion subject contributing to the citizen formation. On the basis of the analyzes of the data collected, it is believed that the theme abortion should be treated on a continuous basis and urgent for the concepts that are assimilated and understood in order to serve as a basis for decision-making and contributed to the formation of the citizen. Therefore, the issue of abortion needs to win the space in the environment at school so that the pupils have a space for discussion and can, therefore, to answer their questions and concerns. It is part of the school and of educators offer this knowledge to the students preparing citizens aware on their bodies and their sexuality.
O aborto é um tema presente desde os tempos mais remotos e com o passar dos anos vem crescendo o interesse sobre o mesmo, visto que se trata de uma questão multidisciplinar de relevância significativa. Atualmente, o aborto representa um grave problema de saúde pública, sendo amplamente praticado, através de meios inadequados que podem causar danos e provocar a morte da mulher. Este tema foi acrescentado na educação brasileira através dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais mediante o desenvolvimento dos temas transversais. Neste contexto, esta pesquisa objetivou averiguar a ação dos professores de ensino fundamental frente à temática da sexualidade, realizar uma análise dos livros didáticos de Biologia indicados pelo Programa Nacional do Livro do Ensino Médio e realizar um estudo comparativo das questões referentes ao aborto, segundo o entendimento dos alunos, em nível de educação superior, das áreas da saúde e humanas incluindo a comparação da compreensão do tema do ponto de vista feminino e masculino a fim de obter a concepção dos jovens acerca do tema. A partir desses dados se construiu um instrumento visando auxiliar no ensino do tema aborto contribuindo na formação do cidadão. Com base nas análises dos dados coletados, acredita-se que o tema aborto deve ser tratado de forma contínua e urgente para que os conceitos sejam assimilados e compreendidos a fim de servirem de base para a tomada de decisões contribuindo na formação do cidadão. Além disso, foi possível perceber que o lúdico contribui na abordagem do tema aborto em sala de aula demonstrando assim, a relevância da inclusão de metodologias alternativas em sala de aula no sentido de aproximar os jovens de temas relevantes visando à formação do cidadão. Assim, a temática do aborto precisa ganhar espaço no ambiente escolar para que os alunos possuam um espaço para discussão e possam, assim, responder suas dúvidas e anseios. É papel da escola e dos educadores oferecer este conhecimento aos alunos preparando cidadãos conscientes sobre seus corpos e sua sexualidade.

Abstract:
Unsafe abortions pose serious threats to women's health. Medical abortion provides safer abortion access to many. The lengthy interval between misoprostol and mifepristone creates multiple barriers for women and providers. A paucity of research exists about medical abortion protocols that allow single day procedures. The efficacy and the safety of 3 medical abortion protocols of varying lengths were explored in this study. A secondary data set of over 55,000 patients from the United Kingdom was retrospectively analyzed using binomial logistic regression. Efficacy results showed no significant difference between the conventional and the simultaneous protocols; when compared to those, the 6- to 8- hour protocol showed a 79% higher risk (OR = 0.210, 95% CI = 0.178 - 0.246) of failure. Safety of the simultaneous protocol was 48% lesser (OR = 0.524, 95% CI = 0.447 - 0.613) and the safety of the 6- to 8- hour protocol 61% lesser (OR = 0.386, 95% CI = 0.304- 0.489) compared to the conventional protocol. The absolute risk of complications or severe adverse events of all protocols (0.98%, 1.97%, and 2.67%) was very low. The results suggest the simultaneous protocol is a viable alternative to the conventional protocol up to 10 weeks' gestation. The results could promote the adoption of the simultaneous protocol by health systems, give millions more women access to safe and effective single day medical abortions, reduce the need for skilled clinicians, and reduce cost burdens for both women and for healthcare systems overall. Implementation of these social changes could make abortion safer globally.

Abstract:
Objective: Induced abortions occur in every country in the world. However sixty percent of the world's women live in countries where abortion is illegal. 19 million pregnancies end in unsafe and/or illegal abortions. Annually, 68,000 women die from unsafe abortions. Legal or not, unsafe abortion is one of the great neglected problems of health care in developing countries like Haiti and is a serious concern to women during their reproductive lives. Methods: The data for this study was collected from youth centers (ages 15-24) and used to estimate percentage distributions of abortion ratios by selected characteristics of women, particularly age at first pregnancy, education levels, relationship status with partner and history of contraception use. Results: 23.9 abortions were reported for every 100 pregnancies. Females with higher education andlor currently students were 3 times more likely to have had an abortion than less educated or non-student females. Decreases in relationship stability, specifically single females, increased the risk for abortion. Increased number of pregnancies significantly increased the risk of ever having had an abortion (three or more pregnancies increases risk 10 fold). Only 12.7% reported use of modern contraception prior to last pregnancy with 71.4% stating that their last pregnancy was not wanted. Conclusion: Prevalence of induced abortion is relatively high in this population specifically occurring among women who are single, more educated, and students. Increased number of pregnancies dramatically increases the risk for abortions. This implies that these females are using abortion as a way to control fertility.

Abstract:
Abortion is a controversial issue. It is subject of heated debates stemming from morality and ethics. Abortion is also, however, a question of rights. Access to abortion weighs the rights of the foetus against the rights of the mother. Women being denied access to safe and legal abortion due to criminalisation and restrictive abortion laws, is also a matter of human rights. Women die every year as the result of unsafe abortion methods. This thesis focuses on access to safe and legal abortion, and examines if and how public international law protects women’s access to abortion. It addresses the topic of reproductive rights and health, and whether this set of rights constitutes any protection for access to safe and legal abortion. Human rights that are actualised in relation to abortion include for example the right to life, right to privacy and right to health. Relevant provisions in CEDAW, ICCPR and ICESCR are analysed, together with general comments and reports issued by the treaty monitoring bodies of the UN. The second part of the thesis focuses on access to safe and legal abortion under the ECHR and examines relevant case-law from ECtHR on the topic. In addition to the legal dogmatic method, a feminist legal theory is used to critically evaluate whether the current protection of access to safe and legal abortion is sufficient from a women’s rights perspective. The author concludes that public international law does not offer any direct protection of access to safe and legal abortion. Instead, access to safe and legal abortion can be protected indirectly by other human rights. Restrictive abortion laws that results in risking the health and life of the mother can violate women’s human rights. Case-law from the ECtHR shows that European states are under a positive obligation to provide an effective access to abortion under the right to privacy, if the national law guarantees such a right. The result from the discussion based on feminist legal theory shows that public international law fails to recognise the abortion issue as a question of gender equality and discrimination against women.

Abstract:
Since the ruling of Roe v. Wade in 1973, controversy in regards to its acceptance in the U.S. remains prevalent politically and socially as opponents of abortion “pro-life” has adopted a strategy of “legal but inaccessible” that has resulted in the passage of several state laws since its establishment. This research project examines relationship between the level of support for abortion policy in the U.S. and some factors namely; Gender, Religious background, and Political ideology by drawing from an online-survey of 100 university students in the U.S. Also, it examines the difference in abortion rates among U.S. states that are governed by republican or democratic governors using abortion rate data of all 50 U.S. states including the District of Columbia for the year 2015 sourced from Abortion statistics and other data. Two statistical techniques were employed and they include: Chi-Square test and Independent sample T-test. Results from the chi-square tests support the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between the support for abortion policy and gender, religious background, and political ideology. Also, from the T-test result, we found that there is no significant difference in abortion rates among U.S. states that are governed by republican or democratic governors. Findings based on the trend analysis of annual U.S. abortion from 1973-2015 shows that the reported annual abortion in the U.S. is on a continuous decrease since the 1990s even though abortion has been legalized in all U.S. states.

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:
ABSTRACT Background: Toxoplasmosis is a condition in which a person is infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Humanitarian transmission is closely linked to the environment in which they live and the conduct that allows the entry into the body of Oocyst Toxoplasma gondii. Toxoplasmosis in married women is very dangerous because it can cause conditions of infertility, repeated spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, and congenital abnormalities. This study aimed to analyze the association between environmental and behavior on toxoplasmosis incidences among married women. Subjects and Method: This was a case-control study carried out at the Alternative Medical Clinic, Aquatreat Therapy Indonesia Foundation in Bogor City during 2019. Total of 160 women were enrolled in this study and divided into 2 groups: 80 in case group and 80 in control group. The dependent variable was toxoplasmosis behavior. The independent variables were environmental and behavior factors. Data were collected from clinical laboratory results and questionnaire and analyzed using a multiple logistic regression. Results: In environmental factors, presence of pets at home (OR= 3.73; 95%CI= 1.83 to 7.61; p<0.001), presence of wild cats or neighboring cats that are often seen around the house (OR= 2.63; 95%CI= 1.24 to 5.58; p= 0.012), and risky environment (OR= 9.60; 95%CI= 3.74 to 24.61; p<0.001) were significantly associated with toxoplasmosis among married women. In behavior factors, consumption of raw vegetables/vegetables (OR= 4.53; 95%CI= 1.23 to 16.73; p= 0.023), consumption of smoked meat/ steak/ undercooked (OR= 3.32; 95%CI= 0.12 to 0.77; p<0.001), food buying habits at roadside stalls (OR= 8.64; 95%CI= 0.03 to 0.50; p<0.001), and washing hands before eating (OR= 0.29; 95%CI= 1.80 to 25.50; p= 0.006) were significantly associated with toxoplasmosis among married women. Conclusion: Environmental and behavior factors are positively associate with toxoplasmosis among married women.

Abstract:
Health is considered to be a crucial factor of regional development and competitiveness. The main goal of the article is to evaluate selected public health factors in economically problematic areas in the Czech Republic in the years 2007 and 2016. A total of 14 indicators in four thematic areas were selected: 1) mortality structure (mortality from circulatory, respiratory and digestive system diseases, neoplasms and external causes), 2) sickness rate (average time of incapacity for work, hospitalized and treated diabetics), 3) reproduction health (total fertility, spontaneous abortion and infant mortality) and 4) medical intervention (the proportion of physicians, general practitioners for adults and general practitioners for children and adolescents). A composite indicator for year 2007 and 2016 was established in each area and each district. The highest value of the indicators sum was proved in Znojmo district, on the other hand, the least favourable situation was detected in the district of Teplice. In districts, where a lower values of indicator was determined, a high accrual in treated diabetics dominates, and most of the districts also show growth in death from circulatory system diseases. The results proved, that it is necessary to pay attention to public health factors not only in its complexity, but also on the basis of component indicators, which can significantly influence the health quality.
