Around half of the pregnancies in America are unintended; roughly 40% of
these will end in abortion. A newly released study investigates which
individuals are more likely to return for repeat terminations.
Although the number of abortion procedures in America is on the decline,
in 2012, there were 699,202 abortions reported to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
At peak volumes, in the late 80s and early 90s, more than 1.3 million abortions were carried out per year.
Abortions are a relatively safe procedure, but they are ethically complicated and can be emotionally distressing.
Additionally, abortions can sometimes lead to preterm labor in future
pregnancies. The current study looks at a number of factors that have
the potential to influence repeat abortions.
One of these factors that predicted repeat abortions was the use of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC); these include subdermal implants and are often preferentially given to women undergoing an abortion. Read More
