- W2128898346 abstract "This study was conducted in 1985 in Asunción, 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.The hypothesis that a restriction of family planning services will be associated with an increased incidence of abortion was investigated in a survey carried out in Asuncion, Paraguay, in 1985. In 1979, the Government of Paraguay abruptly eliminated all support for family planning services at Ministry of Health clinics--a measure that affected at least half of all contraceptive acceptors and forced them to turn to pharmacies for contraceptive supplies. The survey, which samples 10% of the registered private pharmacies in Asuncion, used the sale of pseudo- abortifacients as a measure of induced abortion. Also interviewed were 56 contraceptive purchasers and 51 purchasers of injectables contraceptives intended for use as abortifacients who were recruited at the participating pharmacies. The results indicated that low-income women were 5 times more likely than their higher income counterparts to purchase pseudo-abortifacients. In addition, unmarried women were 3 times more likely to purchase progestogen injections to induce a missed menstrual period than married women. Almost 70% of abortifacient purchasers reported that they had attempted to self-abort on previous occasions. The pharmacists stated that up to 50 women a week requested medication for pregnancy termination and were in agreement that this practice had increased substantially following the government's withdrawal of support for contraception. The pharmacists expressed concern about the nonavailability of counseling from trained family planning personnel and indicated that some pharmacy staff knowingly exploit women by injecting them with unsafe preparations or drugs that cannot induce abortion. The administration of ineffective pseudo-abortifacients can delay the decision to seek an illegal abortion or result in life-threatening incomplete abortion." @default.
