    CONCLUSIONS

    • REASONS WOMEN GIVE FOR WHY THEY SEEK ABORTION ARE OFTEN FAR MORE
    COMPLEX THAN SIMPLY NOT INTENDING TO BECOME PREGNANT; THE DECISION
    TO HAVE AN ABORTION IS USUALLY MOTIVATED BY MORE THAN ONE FACTOR.
    WHILE IMPROVED CONTRACEPTIVES USE CAN HELP REDUCE UNINTENDED
    PREGNANCY AND ABORTION, SOME ABORTIONS WILL REMAIN DIFFICULT TO
    PREVENT, BECAUSE OF LIMITS TO WOMEN’S ABILITY TO DETERMINE AND
    CONTROL ALL CIRCUMSTANCES OF THEIR LIVES.
