American Journal of Public Health, 1971, vol. 61, issue 3, 489-495

Abstract: In anticipation of the expected rise in demand for induced abortion (estimated to reach 500 abortions per 1000 live births within 5 to 10 years) planning should be for provision of public education, patient counseling, safe surgical care, and contraceptive counseling and services. Planning should include the establishment of health department standards with investigation of abortion complications, guidelines for individual selection of abortion procedures for each woman, and supervision of personnel. The possibility of technical training of non-professional personnel to assist in abortion, research in abortion technology, funds for the care of indigent women, and examination of the attitudes of health professionals are other topics discussed.
