Abortion is a topic that many people in our society encounter in one way or another - as those affected, family members, friends, counselors, or practitioners. It is an issue that impacts many, yet is rarely considered in its entirety. This book aims to provide counselors in pregnancy conflict counseling, as well as all interested parties, with an overview of various aspects of abortion and its potential consequences. The focus of the book is on the sociological and psychological aspects of an abortion. Emphasis is placed on examining the topic not from an emotional-political perspective, but through various scientific viewpoints. The book defines terms, considers statistical data, legal foundations, and sociological causes.
