Abstract
Key message points
- Most women reach a decision to have an abortion rapidly.
- Most women have reached their decision before the consultation with the abortion provider.
- Certain women who have risk factors for post-abortion psychological reactions should be targeted and offered counselling.
- Pregnancy options counselling should not be mandatory.
- 'Cooling-off' periods lead to abortions at later gestations
