This report presents an overview of current international data on induced abortion, primarily from the demographic and public health points of view. Statistical tabulations make up the major part of the report, with the text providing background information. Opening sections review definitions, sources of data, and concepts of statistical analysis. Major topics for which data are presented include the legal status of abortion (Table 1); incidence of abortion (Tables 2-20); incidence of repeat abortions (Tables 21-23); period of gestation and abortion procedures (Tables 24-27); incidence of abortion with concurrent sterilization (Table 28); complications (Tables 29-31); and mortality (Table 32). The relationships between abortion and contraception (Tables 33-35) and the effects of changes in abortion policies on trends in the numbers of legal abortions, illegal abortions, total induced abortions, and births are evaluated in the final sections (Table 36). Two technical questions are discussed in the appendix (Tables 37-38).

The International Postpartum Program was begun in 1966 in order to demonstrate the feasibility of providing efficient and effective family planning services in the context of the obstetrical care provided by hospitals. The project included 138 institutions in 21 countries. Over an eight-year period, 1.14 million women were recruited, representing 33 acceptors per 100 obstetrical/abortion patients in these hospitals. Relying primarily on modern methods of contraception, the pill, the IUD, and sterilization, the program provided about 124 years of contraceptive protection for each 100 obstetrical/abortion patients, or somewhat more than four years' protection per acceptor. Predischarge insertion of IUDs was found to be safe and effective. In all countries, the program acceptors experienced important changes in fertility over and above the effects of aging. The demonstration showed that basing a program on activities in the obstetrical wards permits a rapid buildup of services, without great cost for construction. Whether using specially trained additional staff to provide family planning education and information or relying on the existing staff, hospitals were able to recruit a substantial proportion of women on the maternity wards as acceptors. Cost per acceptor averaged about US$5.00 during the eight-year period--considerably below the cost per acceptor in the majority of national programs. Such economy arose because acceptance ratios for the International Postpartum Program were higher than ratios for national programs where the target population is more dispersed, and because only direct costs for the services needed to be considered. The idea of uniting family planning information and services with the maternity services of hospitals has been seized upon and replicated outside the International Postpartum Program. The governments of India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Colombia, Thailand, and the Philippines, among others, now operate such systems. Postpartum programs still do not reach substantial segments of the urban population in the developing world, but the expansion of such services is continuing. Also, adaptations of maternity-centered family planning programs are now being tested in rural areas in the world, where most children are born.

Current studies of ways to inhibit fertility through surgical sterilization vaginal and intrauterine contraception hormonal suppresssion of ovulation hormonal contraception without suppressing ovulation (which includes research on interference with the male reproductive process) are presented in this comprehensive review. Laboratory research related to fertility control suggests potential methods for use by the female such as an antiovulatory pill injection or vaginal ring administered once a month or on a long-term basis (3-6 months) or a long-term implant. Similar types of administration have been suggested for continuous low-dose progestins as well as methods involving skin-contact absorption or the release of the steroid by the IUD. Other possibilities include compounds affecting the corpus luteum which would inhibit implantation monthly pills or injections vaginal tampons to cause luteolysis (administration on a nonregular basis has also been considered) a once-a-month antiprogestational pill precoital progestin postcoital estrogen antiestrogen or antizygotic agent taken orally immunization with sperm antigens immunization with steroid-binding proteins to affect the uterus and avoid interference with ovulation improved methods of detecting ovulation reversible tubal occlusion simplification of tubal ligation and intrauterine infusion of oxytoxins to induce sterility. Also under investigation are oral or parenteral preparations to assure multiple births at will and sex determination by immunization with Y sperm antigens or artificial insemination. Methods involving the male include a subdermal implant or periodic injection to suppress spermatogenesis subdermal implants of progestin or oral tablets of compounds to prevent maturation of sperm oral pills to alter the biochemical make-up of seminal fluid immunization with testes or sperm antigens and reversible vas deferens occlusion and ligation. Methods under consideration for use by either female or male involve oral preparations which alter the gonadotrophic hormone balance. Topical application of pheromones has also been suggested as a possibility.
