Psychosocial aspects of early abortion

Summary/Abstract: There exist various types of early abortive methods, whose aim is to stop the development of a conceived child. Due to their variety (e.g. hormonal contraception, emergency contraceptive pill, medical abortion RU-486) the experiences of women who used them and the psychological consequences of such procedures are diverse. The article discusses the psychological conditions in which the decision of early abortion is taken, its emotional consequences and factors modifying the women’s experiences. The main focus is on medical abortion (RU-486), as on the one hand it is becoming common popular, and on the other hand, it particularly illustrates the problems characteristic for early abortion.
