AbstractDe Oddone, N. K., Shedlint, M. G., Welsh, M., Potts, M., & Feldblum, P. (1991). Journal of Biosocial Science, 23(2), 201-209. 10.1017/S0021932000019210AbstractThis study was conducted in 1985 in Asuncion, Paraguay, 6 years after the closure of the state supported family planning services. Data from national surveys in 1977 and 1987 permit a comparison of sources of contraceptive supplies before and after the elimination of government support for family planning. The purchase of pseudo-abortifacients from private pharmacies was used as an indication of induced abortion. After the loss of government clinics, it is suggested that some women turned to pharmacists to obtain pseudo-abortifacients when faced with unwanted pregnancy. There is an indication of increased pseudo-abortifacient use, particularly among unmarried women and those from poorer neighbourhoods.Social science perspectives on HIV in the United States.
