Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological and emotional effects of abortion on women who terminated their pregnancies for social, economic, or personal reasons. These effects were determined, in part, by an analysis of the woman's concept of self, the external support given, and the various coping mechanisms utilized in the pre- and post- abortal phases. Age, race, marital status, education, occupation, income and number of children were found to influence women's general attitude towards abortion and their pre- and postabortal behavior. Postabortal emotions reflected feelings of relief and happiness in most women studied. Recommendations were made that the health disciplines improve the orientation of patients regarding abortion procedures and hospital routine, and also extend postabortal services by teaching contraceptive use and importance.
