Estimation of illegal abortions
Journal of Biosocial Science, 1969Figures published in the Hospital In-Patient Enquiry (1967), and also for a population of known size in Aberdeen, confirm a previous conclusion, derived primarily from mortality statistics, that currently accepted estimates of 100,000 illegal abortions in Great Britain each year before the Abortion Act 1967 came into operation are much exaggerated.

The incidence of illegal abortion
Population Studies, 1971Abstract Previous estimates of the incidence of illegal abortion in this country are reviewed. It is suggested that data examined by Goodhart imply that there were more (perhaps many more) than 60,000 illegal abortions in 1967. Estimates of the incidence of female sterilizing operations are reviewed.

Estimating the number of illegal abortions
Journal of Biosocial Science, 1977SummaryThis article considers the methods used to estimate the number of abortions before the 1967 Abortion Act came into operation. It suggests that the registration of legal abortions has enabled a new method to be used to calculate the number of illegal operations. The article concludes that the major effect of the Act was to transfer abortions from

Clandestine Abortions are Not Necessarily Illegal
Family Planning Perspectives, 1991It is common to find the term illegal abortion misused. Often times this misuse is perpetrated by antiabortion advocates who wish to reinforce negative stereotypes and thus apply pressure on doctors to refrain from performing abortions. Until a practitioner is prosecuted and convicted of performing an abortion contrary to the law the procedure ...

Illegal Abortions and Women's Reproductive Health
Medical Law International, 1998Deliberate termination of pregnancy is called induced abortion. It may be legal or illegal (if it violates any provision of “termination law”). Illegal and unsafe abortion is a hazard for women's reproductive health. In India, a tenth of maternal deaths are due to septic abortions. We do have termination law, which only barks but does not bite.

ILLEGAL ABORTIONS AND THE ABORTION ACT 1967
The British Journal of Criminology, 1976It is sometimes inaccurately suggested that the relaxation of laws against abortion—as, for example, by the provisions of the Abortion Act 1967— constitutes a measure of " decriminalisation." In fact the Abortion Act did not decriminalise abortion in the sense that attempted suicide was decrimin alised in 1961, or in the sense that repeal of the ...

The Lancet, 1993Misoprostol, a prostaglandin E1 analogue indicated for ulcer treatment, has been widely used as an abortifacient by women in Brazil, where abortion is legal only in cases of rape or incest, or to save the woman's life. Because misoprostol is an inefficient abortifacient, many women who use it have incomplete abortions and need uterine evacuation.
