An estimate of the effect of abortions on the stillbirth rate

  • R. J. Gandy (a1)
Summary

Consideration is given to the impact of the change in the Abortion Laws in 1968 on the national stillbirth rate. From investigation of the demographic characteristics of women having abortions it appears that abortions accounted for at least 26% of the fall in the stillbirth rate from 1969 to 1974.
