Abstract
In the United States, as in many other countries, the appropriate public policy to be taken with regard to induced abortion has become a matter of growing concern in recent years. The philosophic and ethical issues have been analyzed and reanalyzed, argued and reargued, but no resolution is in hand or in prospect. Perhaps for this reason, more attention has recently been given to the social, demographic, and medical aspects of the matter. This publication is a pioneering study to that end.
