Abstract: One-third of the 200 million pregnancies per year are un- wanted. These are closely linked to difficulties in acces-sing sex education and effective contraceptive methods. Unwanted pregnancies are a public-health issue: one- quarter of them result in unsafe abortion, often with medical complications.
