Abstract: This paper explores a less-known aspect of the abortion issue, namely the link between abortion and environmental factors. Environmental factors are sometimes the cause or at least a very important link in a causal chain which can have significant effects on the abortion issue. As we try to identify environmental factors which influence the evolution of pregnancy, we realise that these factors are mainly created because of the people�s influence over environment, and are not effects created solely by natural environment. Mainly the discussion about abortions which occurs due to environmental influence focuses on the abortions which occur when the pregnant woman would want to keep the pregnancy. When the pregnancy is not wanted, the question does not have the same relevance, as the pregnant woman would have probably tried to have an induced abortion. Many studies revealed the link between exposure to the residues of different fuels and abortion rates. Studies have proved that there is, beyond doubt, a link between women�s exposure to radioactivity and miscarriages. As we can no longer deny the effects of the environment on the evolution of pregnancy, it is our duty to take effective measures in order to reduce the number of abortions determined by environmental factors, before it is too late.
