At least half of terminations involve drugs rather than surgery, research has found.
Over 90 percent of abortions in high-income countries take place before the 13th week of pregnancy, research looking at trends over the past decade has shown.
In the Nordic countries of Finland, Sweden, and Norway, the rates of medical abortions were highest at 97 percent, 93 percent, and 88 percent, respectively. Meanwhile Southern Europe saw the biggest variation in types of procedures. In Italy, 81 percent of abortions were surgical, while 71 percent in Portugal were medical.
More research must be done to uncover whether the differences across countries come down to women's preferences, or due to"barriers to the timing and type of care they would prefer," the authors wrote. Leaps forward in technology allowing a fetus to be detected likely explain the rise in abortions before the 9th week of pregnancy, the authors argued.
Meanwhile in Italy, where conscientious objection is high among physicians, there is a shortage of abortion providers, with the procedure only available in 60 percent of hospitals. This could delay women’s abortions, the authors said, leading them to travel elsewhere or seek backstreet terminations.
