AbstractThe morbidity and mortality of illegal abortion are briefly discussed with reference to South Africa, where it seems that 1 in every 8-10 pregnant women deals with an unwanted pregnancy in this way. A review of the literature regarding legal abortion has been undertaken, detailing mortality and morbidity with various methods in many countries. The medical problems resulting from a permissive abortion policy have been highlighted, and an attempt has been made to define the place of medically induced abortion in health services, as it is understood by countries with extensive experience in this field. It is hoped that this contribution will help to define the real issues in the current abortion debate in South Africa.
