Abstract

ABSTRACTAs more abortions are being done in teen-age girls than ever before, an unusually large number of complications are being seen by some private practitioners. Because many of these adolescent patients in whom complications develop do not return to the physicians who did the abortions, accurate data on the incidence of abortion complications are difficult to obtain. It is only reasonable that the teen-ager be given all the facts available on the significant complications of abortion and its possible effects oh future childbearing.
