Abstract
During the fifteen months following the 1973 Danish abortion legislation, the mean annual rate of induced abortion was 23 per 1,000 women aged 15-44 compared with a mean annual rate of 14.5 during the 15 preceding months. Though use of legal abortion has increased, the rate is not of a magnitude to suggest large-scale abandonment of contraception. On the contrary, preconceptive fertility control continues to be widely practiced.
