Abortion linked to abuse at home, doctors warned

Doctors should be alert to the fact that a “significant number” of women seeking abortions are or have been in abusive relationships, a new study warns. The report, in the Obstetrician and Gynaecologist journal found that 30 per cent of women having a second abortion said they were in an abusive relationship. Women on their third or more abortion were even more likely to have suffered a history of physical or sexual abuse. Christian Institute
