  • Title: Abortion: community trends. Comment 2.
    Author: Connon AF.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 1974 Aug 24; 2(8):293-5. PubMed ID: 4424702.
    Abstract:
    It is fine to review Australian abortion laws with an eye to changing them, but such a review skirts the basic issue, which is, "Why are there so many unplanned pregnancies?" The author believes that the large numbers of women seeking abortions in countries with liberalized laws represent a new demand and not simply the substitution of a legal for an illegal abortion. Abortions should be available to some women at the present time, but knowledge and facilities for prevention of pregnancies should be available, too. At no time should abortion be regarded as just another means of contraception.
