Abortion: subjective attitudes and feelings. 1978

E W Freeman

The decision to terminate a pregnancy is neither casual nor easy. Most women see abortion as a difficult but necessary alternative to an unintended birth. Their ambivalence is no reason to counsel against the abortion. Most resolve their problems soon after the procedure. Lack of support by partners can be a major source of distress.
