“CONCEPT OF INDUCED ABORTION IN OUR SOCIETY: A PRIMARY STUDY FROM PAKISTAN”

Akhtar, Faheem.

Abortion is perceived differently in society. Basically abortion is of two types Induced Abortion and Spontaneous Abortion. Spontaneous Abortion means naturally abortion and Induced Abortion means to abort child with the willing of husband, family or herself. The focus of the study was on Induced Abortion. The sample size was 100 (75 patients and 25 LHVs). Researchers divided respondents in two categories “Patients and LHVs”. Because of lack of time and lack of resources, data was collected just from Family Health Centers of Lahore. Mostly respondents (Patients) were belong to middle class with lower education level and had low income therefore they could not afford the expenses of their children so they had aborted their children. Most of respondents (Patients) preferred abortion in case of rape because society does not allow such child and a few respondents (Patients) practiced Sex Selective Abortion. The respondents (LHVs) also told that mostly cases were practiced due to poverty and lack of awareness about family planning methods. These issues can be reduced if government should develop solid policies to restrict abortions and there is a need for proper education about the side effects of abortion because mostly the couples are unaware about the after effects of abortion. The preference of male baby over female baby should be eliminated by promoting the importance of female baby over male baby because mostly people had induced abortion to abort female baby.
