Abortion is a fact. In countries where it is officially forbidden – even under the harshest duration of the sentence, which is, for example, the sentence of death in Saudi Arabia – is still practiced. Treatments are carried out in secret, often in unacceptable from a medical point of view of conditions. The so-called. abortion underground is thriving prosperous venture, but an announcement on the procedures described appropriate, neutral passwords can be found in local newspapers, on the Internet or via “word of mouth”. Proponents of the legalization of abortion emphasize that the most important thing is the right choice of women and the right to decide about her own body, not allowing it to third parties or state institutions. The researchers conclude that anti-abortion legislation in practice have no effect on the number of procedures performed.
The causes of abortion are different: pregnancy is unwanted, threatens the life or health of a woman, found serious birth defects … There are probably many other reasons. Treatment succumb to women of all ages, from different social classes and throughout the world. Statistics on abortion presented by the World Health Organization show that in developed countries in the group of a thousand women aged 15-44 the number of abortions fell from 46 to 27 treatments over the past 24 years. This is explained by increasing public awareness and easy access to contraceptives.

Sexual education of women is generally limited to a short briefing before the wedding night or overheard, very przeinaczonych facts in talks older women. Men usually less interested in the issue related to fertility and pregnancy, dropping attributed this to their partners.
Abortion is the most obvious solution, because other methods are not known, available only in the largest cities in the country or had grown folk myths. WHO says that as a result of treatments, which were carried out in developing countries in inappropriate conditions, damage to health ended up with the nearly 7 million women. Help abortion burden the state budget amount of $ 232 million. And this is not the full number, since it is estimated that some women have not received aid after the surgery poorly. The number of deaths of women as a result of surgery inadequate in developing countries ranges between 22 and 44 thousand per year. As a result of complications, most women die in Afryce.- high numbers in our study on abortion are proof that there is a need to improve and expand access to contraception and education – emphasizes Dr. Bela Ganatra, a member of the WHO.
The largest number of abortions carried out in Latin America, where the surgery occurs on average for 1 in 3 pregnancies.
Currently in Poland, a woman is not punishable for submission to abortion, and the legal consequences already subject to everyone who helped her in abortion, and therefore not only a doctor but also all sorts of middlemen. For a complete ban on abortion in favor of the environment in Poland right-wing, centered around ProLife Foundation. Proponents of tightening regulations would prohibit the procedure even in the case of pregnancy as a result of rape or such that would endanger the life of the mother.
