Abstract:

The number of unwanted pregnancies has not decreased in recent years and this should be addressed. Emergency contraception may be effective when used correctly having the advantage that it can be used after an episode of unprotected sexual intercourse (when regular contraception has failed or was not used). In this research project I set out to explore some of the major reasons why there are still many unwanted pregnancies in Australia.

Abstract:

Fertility control is not a modern concept. In virtually every culture of historical importance there is evidence of a desire to control fertility by artificial means ( Dickinson 1970 ). The desire for, as distinct from the achievement of, reliable contraception has been characteristic of many societies widely removed in time and place, even in societies dominated by mores and religious codes demanding that people increase and multiply( Hines 1970 ). Today fertility control is widely seen as a basic right, a right of the individual to the knowledge and means to procreate only when desired. T

Abstract:

Emergency contraception is an effective backup for contraceptive failure. In Hong Kong, levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive pill is a prescription drug. In most developed countries, it is provided in advance or over-the-counter to eliminate the barrier to access.

Abstract:

Aim: The 1996 Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act decriminalized abortion in South Africa and the South African Medicines Control Council in 2000 approved the dispensing of emergency contraceptive methods by pharmacists to women without a doctor's prescription. This legislation has been hailed as among the most progressive in the world with respect to women's reproductive justice. However the realisation of these rights in practice has not always met expectations in part due to medical practitioners' ethical objections to termination of pregnancy and the provision of related services.

Abstract:

Adolescents have become focal points of discussions and debates regarding sexuality and reproductive health matters. However, little research has been done particularly in South Africa to examine their knowledge concerning abortion and emergency contraception. Research indicates that a substantial proportion of adolescent pregnancies are unintended or unwanted. Abortion and emergency contraception are both time-sensitive services. Thus having accurate and comprehensive knowledge about both abortion and emergency contraception is pivotal, in the case of unintended or unwanted pregnancy or when

Abstract:

Abortion is a highly controversial subject that has again come into the spotlight in South Africa due to the legalisation of abortion on demand in 1996. The results of various studies conducted since the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act 92 of 1996 was implemented, have indicated that abortion providers have met with a great deal of negativism and ostracism. This study focused on the implications of abortion work on nurses' social relationships with family, friends, colleagues and their communities. Recent literature was reviewed on the subject.

BACKGROUND: One in ten sexually active adolescents in the United States become pregnant each year. Significant differences in unintended pregnancy and use of long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods: the sub-dermal implant, the copper intrauterine device (IUD) and hormonal IUDs, exist between socioeconomic strata as well as ethnic and racial groups. Women using LARC are 20 times less likely to experience a pregnancy than women using short-acting reversible methods. Thus, LARCs present a major opportunity for the prevention of unintended pregnancy. PURPOSE: Characterize contracepti
