Description
The subject of this commentary is the complex interrelationship between abortion and contraceptive use in the control of fertility. While both are interventions designed to manage unwanted pregnancy, there are significant differences between the 'preventive' and 'curative' approaches. The significance stems from abortion being a procedure that provokes fundamental and contentious questions about human life, such as when life begins, as well as highlighting the rights of the mother versus the rights of the foetus, and the obligation of governments to protect the unborn child (1). There is sufficient historical evidence to conclude that no societies have achieved low fertility without recourse to use of some form of contraception together with abortion. So, an important and topical question that arises from this inter-relationship is whether the provision of high-quality contraceptive services can reduce or substitute for abortion. A recent Lancet article based on data from the ICDDR,B fieldsite in Matlab supports the substitution argument, at least in the context of Bangladesh (2). These findings are discussed below.
