▼ Unsafe abortion is a preventable tragedy and is one of the neglected problems of health care in developing countries. In February 2009 a cross-sectional study was conducted in Bishoftu town Oromia Regional state to assess the knowledge and attitude of female youth aged 15-24 years towards induced abortion. The study utilized both quantitative and qualitative (FGDs) methods. A total of 708 female youth were interviewed using pre-tested questionnaire. The data were edited, and entered into a computer and analyzed using SPSS WINDOW version 15. Odds ratios were calculated using logistic regression model to control confounders in the process of examining the effects of socio-economic and demographic predictor variables on knowledge and attitude of respondents towards induced abortion. Statistical tests were done at a level of significance of p<0.05. It is found that around one –third of sexually active respondents not use contraceptives to protect themselves from unwanted/unplanned pregnancy and STDs including HIV/Aids, whereas 91.9% of them were aware of contraceptives. About one-fifth (20%) of the respondents who ever experienced pregnancy reported induced abortion, of which students, unemployed youth, housemaids and daily laborers took the highest share. Of the respondents 73% supported induced abortion upon a woman’s demand. Around 87% of the respondents were aware of health risks of unsafe abortion but only one-fifth of the respondents knew that abortion is illegal but allowed under certain circumstances in the country, Ethiopia. The majority (60.6%) believed that abortion is illegal in the country. The FGDs result made clear that most female youth believed that if Ethiopia’s current abortion law is liberalized it will have a positive effect on maternal mortality and morbidity. Since the social and cultural factors continue to shape the opinion of the people, not all the participants who reflected the above idea support induced abortion on request. Prevalence of unsafe abortion was found to be higher in the study area. 67.7% of the respondents stated unsafe abortion as a major health problem and nearly half of the respondents (48.7%) knew some one suffer or die from unsafe abortion in the study area. There was significant association between female youth knowledge and attitude of induced abortion and some socio-economic and demographic variables. The multivariate result revealed that having positive attitude towards induced abortion was higher for those female youth who were less religious, in their twenties (20-24), had secondary and above educational level(grade 9-12 and above),had no monthly income, never married, had positive attitude of contraceptive use and ever use of contraceptives.. Similarly as the multivariate result revealed female youth knowledge of unsafe abortion was higher for x those female youth who were in their twenties (20-24), had secondary and above educational level (grade 9-12 and above), living with friends and in universities, had knowledge of contraceptive… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Amare Gebre Egziabher (advisor).

▼ Induced abortion poses a great public health concern especially when performed by unskilled health care providers. The study is comparing characteristics of women seeking termination of pregnancy (TOP) and those admitted for incomplete abortion. Understanding these characteristics of women in two groups will assist determine the group at risk and in turn help policy makers decide on strategies to reduce complications arising from abortions. This is in view of the fact that 30% of maternal mortality rate in Zambia is due to complications of abortion.Objectives: To compare the sociodemographic characteristics, economic factors, obstetric characteristics, the proportion of women who knew the existence of the TOP Act of 1972 of the Zambian law and determine the reasons for inducing abortion between women who requested TOP (controls) and those who presented with incomplete abortion in the university teaching hospital (cases). Study Design: Case control hospital based study carried out between February and May, 2002. Cases being women admitted for incomplete abortion and controls being women admitted to have a termination of pregnancy at UTH. Setting: University Teaching Hospital in Ward CO3 (gynaecological ward), Lusaka, Zambia. Subjects: All women 14-49 years admitted for abortion services at UTH. Main outcome measures - comparison of the level of knowledge on termination of pregnancy Act, 1972, the utilisation of family planning methods, methods used to induce abortion and number of attempts made to terminate pregnancy between women who seek TOP and those who are admitted for incomplete abortion in the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka. Results: A total of 212 subjects were recruited in the study, out of which 76 were controls and 136 were cases. The difference between the two groups were significant in the areas of residence where 62 (45.6%) cases lived in rural/high density areas while only 7 (9.2%) controls lived in the similar residential areas of Lusaka. Most cases 53 (39%) had not been to school or attained up to primary level of education while most controls 64 (84.2%) had attained senior secondary education. Occupation of the two groups also showed significant difference in that 126 (82.1.%) of cases were either not working or in informal employment as opposed to 30 (39.5%) of the controls who worked as professionals. The income of the two groups was consumerate to their occupations 55 (66.9%) cases got below K300,000 and 44 (83%) controls got above K301,000. Most of those who were not working in both cases 26 (19%) and controls 25 (33%) were mainly students. It was clear that most cases (71.3%) claimed to have had a spontaneous abortion while the rest 28.7% had abortion performed by non health care providers, using unsafe methods such as ingestion of herbs, dilating cervix using sticks or probes etc. The picture was different with all the controls who got their abortion services from skilled health care providers using MVA or cytotec tables in the University Teaching Hospital. It was found that 13.9% of…

▼ A majority of states require parental consent or notification before a minor may have an abortion. Parental involvement laws are based in part on the assumption that abortion poses a risk to the psychological health of adolescents. Previous research has catalogued the risks to adolescent mothers and their children posed by early childbearing, the alternative to abortion. The health risks of delaying abortion also have been documented. Few studies, however, have attempted to quantify the risks of abortion to adolescents' mental health. Research suggests that associations between abortion and depression demonstrated in some studies of adult women may be spurious and reflect unmeasured covariates, such as intendedness of the pregnancy. This study used secondary data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) to test whether having an abortion put adolescent women at risk for developing depression in the short term and over time. Respondents were interviewed three times, in 1994-1995 (Wave I), 1996 (Wave II), and in 2001 (Wave III). Logistic regression was used to test whether adolescents who had an abortion between Waves I and II had an increased risk for developing depression. Adolescents who had an abortion were compared with adolescents who also became pregnant but did not have an abortion and with the larger sample of female adolescents. Abortion was not associated with developing depression, either in the short term or over time. Unintended pregnancy between Waves I and II also was not significant in predicting depression. Prior pregnancy (before Wave I), however, did predict depression five years later. Thus, this study found no evidence to support legal restrictions on abortion for minors on the basis of increased risk of depression. However, findings do suggest that pregnancy in early adolescence may be a risk factor for developing depression in young adulthood. The relationship between adolescent pregnancy and later depression underscores the need for effective pregnancy prevention programs in early adolescence. Advisors/Committee Members: Harvey, S. Marie (advisor), Thorburn, Sheryl (committee member).

▼ Abstract Background: More than half of 80 million unintended pregnancies occurred worldwide would end in abortion annually. In developing countries more than one-third of all pregnancies are considered unintended and about 19% will end up in abortion. The determinants of induced abortion are considered to be socio-demographic factors, prior reproductive health and family planning behaviors and experiences. There is a need to address various problems with regards to women reproductive health needs including contraceptive use. Objective: To assess determinants of induced abortion among child bearing age women attending reproductive health clinic in Addis Ababa. Method: Institution based cross sectional study on assessment of determinants of induced abortion was conducted in May 2014. Study subjects were women aged 18 to 49, attending reproductive health clinic in Addis Ababa among who had experienced induced abortion by convenience sampling. A structured pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data on abortion and related aspects. Result: A total of 390 reproductive age women were interviewed. Mean age of the respondents was 26 years. The most frequent reason for induced abortion mentioned by the respondents was not using a contraceptive method 29.2%. Inappropriate use of contraceptive 15.8% and rape 8.2% were also mentioned by the respondents. Fifty three percent of the participants admitted for using at least on method of contraceptive. Age and marital status were significantly associated socio-demographic variables with induced abortion. Total number of live birth, contraceptive use and future desire of pregnancy were also significantly associated variables. Conclusion and recommendation: out of all respondents 93.8% mentioned one contraceptive method, but still 55% women with induced abortion experience mentioned contraceptive related reasons for having induced abortion. This shows that there is a big gap between the knowledge and practice of contraceptive. Therefore, it is recommended that to strengthen and modify the existing family planning program in order to reduce induced abortion. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. TEKEBASH ARAYA (advisor).

▼ The current debate on abortion has given rise to a group of feminists who hold that unrestricted access to abortion and complete reproductive freedom is a woman's basic right. This study is premised on he understanding that the issue of abortion is complex and multifaceted. The issue is profound because it touches on our value systems and affects human relations, especially between men and women, children and parents and between siblings. Abortion is an issue, which significantly affects the future of humanity and the value that one attributes to human life. It is as a result of this complexity that the issue has polarized the human society into various groupings, namely: the conservatives, the moderates and the liberalists. Our major concern in this study is the extreme liberalist position that abortion is a woman's basic right. Among the proponents of this position are the radical feminists. This group of feminists is generally referred to as radical pro-choice feminists. This study set out to critically examine the underlying assumptions, implications and challenges of holding this position of unrestricted access to abortion and complete reproductive freedom as a woman's basic right. The study found out the following: i) The woman's decision to abort affects not only the woman's self-image but also her health and life. ii) By denying the partner right to participate in decision-making, the claim will impact negatively on the woman, as the partner will have reason to run away from his social and financial obligations. iii) The recourse to abortion does not only affect the society's attitudes towards the unborn children but also to the other sections of humanity who may fall under the same category. iv) The pro-choice feminist's demand, if granted, could tear the family set up apart as it impacts negatively on the mutual cooperation between family members that is a vital ingredient of a healthy family life. v) The claim assist women to deny procreation of the human race which nature has bestowed upon them. vi) That there are other viable options to the abortion decision.Consequently, the study concluded, in the light of the fmdings that the woman's demand on unrestricted access to abortion and complete reproductive freedom as a woman's primary right; contrary to the claims of its proponents is detrimental to the advancement of the women cause and by extension the entire humanity. In response to the findings of this study, and in an attempt to reverse the current trend and thus save women and the entire human society from further denigration, this study has called for a reexamination and re-evaluation of the radical feminist's standpoint and the society's attitude towards life and the well being of women and children. It is believed that this study will make some modest contributions to the world of scholarship, more particularly, it is hoped that it will provide useful material and information to individuals, families, organizations, academic institutions of higher learning and…

Access to reproductive health services, including abortion services, is essential to the health of women and families. While existing literature has documented the influence of demographic factors (‘who you are’) on access to abortion in the United States, exploration of the influence of place of residence (‘where you live’) is limited. Evidence on the relationship between rurality and access to abortion is notably incomplete, despite the assertions in the public discourse that women living in rural communities have worse access to care than their urban peers. This dissertation addresses this gap via qualitative and quantitative research in the Central Appalachian region. The qualitative study explores rural women’s reproductive health needs and experiences via in-depth interviews. Paper 1 analyzes the variability of experiences related to accessing a range of reproductive health needs, including abortion. This critical formative research is needed not only to replace assumptions with evidence, but also to contextualize access to abortion within reproductive health access broadly. Paper 2 focuses on rural women’s experiences related to abortion services. It explores how perceived feasibility of obtaining abortion care influences pregnancy decision-making. Paper 3 explores the relationship between gestational age at time of abortion and county-level factors, adjusting for individual characteristics and distance traveled to care, using a three-level hierarchical model. The dissertation results suggest that reproductive health services are not uniformly difficult for women in rural communities to access. Instead, experiences accessing services vary as a result of the nature of the health need, with barriers to obtaining highly specialized and/or stigmatized services. Abortion services are both specialized and stigmatized, thus these services are uniquely challenging to access for women in rural communities, which influences women’s pregnancy decision-making. When women assess pregnancy as unacceptable but abortion services as unfeasible, they adjust their emotional orientation towards continuing pregnancy, casting ongoing pregnancy as acceptable. Finally, place of residence, specifically county of residence, is relevant to gestational age at time of abortion. Residing in a nonmetropolitan county is associated seeking abortion later, even after controlling for miles traveled and county-level poverty.

▼ Spontaneous abortion in Zambia is defined as non-induced embryonic death or passage of products of conception before 28 weeks’ gestation. Placental insufficiency as a result of thrombi lodging in the uteroplacental bed is considered to be a cause of pregnancy loss. Circulating microparticles are minute sized particles associated with prothrombotic nature and have been found to be increased in the uteroplacental circulation in pregnancy, as such microparticles may be directly or indirectly associated with pregnancy loss. With abortion cases accounting for approximately 80% of cases presenting at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology emergency ward at The University Teaching Hospital, the objective of this study was to determine if circulating microparticles are associated with the risk of recurrent abortion. A total of 18 women with two or more recurrent abortions were enrolled in a case-control study and compared with 55 parous women as controls. After undergoing counselling performed by a trained midwife 24 hours after pregnancy loss or birth, a consent form was signed thereafter a questionnaire completed and 3mls of blood collected in a citrated container. Microparticles were measured in the isolated platelet poor plasma by flow cytometry using fluorescent annexin V-fluorescence isothiocyanate conjugate.Microparticle levels in cases was compared to controls using unpaired t-test and logistic regression used to determine the parameters of the questionnaire associated with abortion. Increased microparticle levels for both cases and controls was defined as more than 2 standard deviation above the mean of controls. The mean in this study was found to be 202/μl and was identified in 4 of the 18 women with recurrent abortions (22%), as compared to 2 of the 55 parous women (4%), t(20)=2.49, P=0.022, 95% CI 182.20-16.09. The increased levels of microparticles in the peripheral circulation of women with two/more unexplained pregnancy losses supports emerging evidence that microparticles have a role to play in abortion, however, more studies need to be carried out to confirm these findings. Key Words: Recurrent Abortion, Circulating Microparticles, Social Demographics.

▼ Unsafe abortion, an issue that leads to over 2,000 deaths and health complications for more than 21,000 women annually in Kenya, remains largely unaddressed by the Kenyan state. Despite the significant public importance of abortion, there has been little or no scholarly attention directed at the role of the state in shaping sexual politics through its regulation of abortion. In this thesis, I undertake a feminist analysis of the Kenyan state to explore how the state, through its policy regime, shapes sexual politics. I argue that Western-based feminist theorisations of the state, although useful, do not fully account for the Kenyan state’s treatment of the issue of abortion. Consequently, I draw on the range of scholarship in feminist theorisations of the state and in African politics to develop the Critical African Feminist Perspective on the state. Using this perspective, I undertake a discourse analysis of archival material, policy texts, and interviews with key actors in abortion politics. The analysis of the state over three phases – colonial, dictatorial, and democratic – reveals the neo-patrimonial character of the state, resulting in policies and practices that systematically ignore or marginalise issues affecting women. This study demonstrates that across consecutive governments, the Kenyan political elite, in an attempt to consolidate political power and popularity in the face of low levels of legitimacy and complex tribal politics, has deployed a tactic of “strategic ambivalence”, wherein the law criminalising abortion has been sustained but not enforced. State efforts have therefore been directed at presenting a positive image of itself to both pro- and anti-abortion actors, rather than substantively tackling the problem of unsafe abortion. The study establishes that although neoliberalism, capitalism and patriarchy play significant roles, neo-patrimonial politics is the key impediment to creating policies and institutions that will ensure Kenyan women’s access to safe abortions. I note that although Kenya’s new Constitution guarantees women better access to legal abortion, it has not conclusively addressed neo-patrimonialism, which is therefore likely to continue to have negative implications for sexual politics and issues of gender equality in general.

M.A.

The aim of this study was to ascertain which variables affect and influence women when making choices in unplanned pregnancy. In addition, to determine if there were any significant differences between the pregnancy and termination of pregnancy (TOP) group, indicating a specific profile for the respective group. Comparatively little research has been conducted on unplanned pregnancy and abortion within South Africa, as compared with international studies. Future longterm studies are recommended. The research conducted was of a quantitative quasi-experimental research design, wherein the researcher compared the following variables between the two groups: Biographic/demographic data, Personality Styles, perceived Family Environments and Coping Resources. Subjects were not randomly assigned, but selected by the nursing staff and researcher. Statistical analysis reflected that the two groups differed significantly on four variables. The majority of women in the TOP group were found to be the sole earners within their families. Conversely, women in the pregnancy group had more financial resources and lower levels of employment. A lack of sufficient finances was shown to be the strongest determining factor for those electing abortions. A compounding factor, were the nature of the relationships from where conception arose, 71% of the women who elected abortion described difficulties with the partnerin- conception. These included poor relationships due to excessive drinking, extramarital affairs, disinterest in the pregnancy, subsequent abandonment and divorce. Although the two groups had similar profiles in terms of the religious variable, many of the women who elected to remain pregnant, cited religion and/or their beliefs as the primary reason for continuing their pregnancies. In contrast, the TOP group reported a higher level of conflict within their family of origin, compared to the pregnancy group. IV No underlying pathology was found to exist in the group electing terminations, with both groups presenting similar personality styles. The two groups were also found to use comparable coping skills and resources. This research indicates, that most of the women experiencing an unplanned pregnancy based their decisions to abort on external variables; such as their relationships, financial position and religious beliefs. Studies indicate that these women are more likely to experience deleterious consequences, than those who make this decision based on their own personal needs. Many of these women made their decisions based on limitations not preference. This study may be considered to show important findings, as it reflects the need for effective pre- and post-abortion intervention/counselling services, which should be easily accessible to the public. The psychological well-being of the individual is critical for the overall well-being of the community, and ultimately therefore, society.

▼ Teen pregnancy and teen abortions are major public health concerns in the United States. The more than 300,000 births to teens each year often involve increased risk to the health of the mother and the baby. Teenage pregnancy and births also raise a variety of related political, clinical, social, and economic concerns. To make effective recommendations regarding contraception, teenage pregnancy, abortion, and sexual education programs, researchers must produce empirical evidence, which accurately evaluates policy options for persons involved in public health policy and legislation. This study investigated the effect of parental notification and consent laws on teen births and abortions in Texas. This research examined health data of females aged 13 - 21 from Texas for 1995 through 2009. In January 2000, Texas enacted a law requiring a medical provider to notify the parents of a minor female seeking an abortion, before performing the abortion. In 2005, the law changed, requiring notarized parental consent in addition to notification for an unemancipated minor to receive an abortion. Teenage birth and abortion rates, as well as other health outcomes related to pregnancy were analyzed. The data included years before notification laws (1995 – 1999), the years following enactment of the notification law (2000 – 2004), and the most current data following the more rigid consent law (2005 – 2009). The analysis used a time-series approach, specifically Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model-fitting processes, to identify any changes in the patterns of the dependent variables resulting from this legislation. Overall, parental notification and consent laws did seem to have an effect on birth and abortion rates for minors in Texas. Specifically, notification laws seemed to have the greatest impact on 16 – 17 year old females, reducing birth and abortion rates. Results were mixed in terms of the effect of the more stringent consent laws and the overall impact of both laws on health outcomes. Findings did differ by race/ethnicity category.

▼ Despite the decriminalization of abortion in Canada in 1988, women still face many barriers to abortion care. With the registration of Mifegymiso® (mifepristone, or RU486) in Canada in July 2015, there is hope that the gold-standard medication abortion could alleviate some of those barriers women face. In this thesis, I used data from a Canada-wide study exploring women’s abortion experiences by way of in-depth interviews to investigate mifepristone’s potential to alter the abortion care landscape. My thesis is comprised of two articles: one using selections from 174 interviews across five provinces, the other using 13 full interviews from Newfoundland as a case study. These papers suggest that women would be interested in using mifepristone once available in Canada, and identified both benefits of and concerns about this method of early pregnancy termination. Despite many unanswered questions as to how and when Mifegymiso® will become available, the registration of this important abortifacient has the promise to increase access and expand choice for Canadian women. Malgré la décriminalisation de l’avortement en 1988, les femmes font toujours face à des obstacles de soins. Avec l'enregistrement de Mifegymiso® (mifépristone, ou RU-486) au Canada en Juillet 2015, il y a espoir que ce médicament d’avortement pourrait atténuer certains de ces obstacles auxquels les femmes sont confrontées. Dans cette thèse, j'ai utilisé les données d'une étude qui explore les expériences d’avortements des femmes à travers le Canada. Les données ont été récupérer par moyen d’entrevues en profondeur et enquête le potentiel du médicament mifépristone à améliorer le paysage de soins de l’avortement. Ma thèse est composée de deux articles: la première inclue une sélection parmi 174 entrevues dans cinq provinces et la deuxième inclus 13 entrevues comme étude de cas de la province de Terre-Neuve. Ces articles suggèrent que l'intérêt pour la mifépristone pourrait être élevé au Canada après l'intégration de ce médicament, et les femmes perçoivent plusieurs avantages à cette méthode de terminaison prématurée de la grossesse et que les femmes ont certaines préoccupations. Malgré qu'il y ait beaucoup de questions sans réponse quant à la façon et quand Mifegymiso® sera disponible, l'enregistrement de cet important abortif a la promesse d'accroître l'accès et élargir le choix pour les femmes canadiennes.
