Induced abortion has been discussed in Chile since the last century, but not always openly. Abortion is not just an individual and collective medical problem, it is also an ethical, religious, legal, demographic, political, and psychological problem. Above all it is a problem of human rights. In the past 60 years, more than 50 countries representing 76% of the world population have liberalized their abortion legislation. Around 980 million women have some degrees of access of legal abortion. The magnitude of illegal abortion is difficult to determine because of the desire of women to hide their experiences. Estimates of the incidence of abortion in Chile made some 25 years ago are no longer valid because of the numerous social changes in the intervening years. The number of abortions in Chile in 1987 was estimated using an indirect residual method at 195,441, of which 90%, or 175,897, were induced. By this estimate, 38.8% of pregnancies in Chile end in abortion. Data on hospitalizations for complications of induced abortion show an increase from 13.9/1000 fertile aged women in 1940 to 29.1 in 1965. By 1987, with increased contraceptive usage, the rate declined to 10.5 abortions per 1000 fertile aged women. The cost of hospitalization for abortion complications in 1987, despite the decline, was still estimated at US $4.3 million, a large sum in an era of declining health resources. The problem of induced abortion can be analyzed by placing it in the context of elements affecting the desire to control fertility. 4 complexes of variables are involved: those affecting the supply of contraceptive, the demand for contraceptives, the various costs of fertility control measure, and alternatives to fertility control for satisfying various needs. The analysis is further complicated when efforts are made to understand the dynamics of the process. Awareness of fertility control is a social process that matures slowly. Contraception and abortion have different significance for fertility control, with contraception preventing pregnancy and abortion is a sense curing it. Chile has progressed far in its fertility control awareness. 2/3 of sexually active women use some form of contraception. At the same time, induced abortion is also used. It is estimated that 58% of abortions occur after a contraceptive failure. It appears that recourse to abortion would be minimized if strategies centered on supply of contraceptives were complemented by stronger efforts to develop awareness of fertility control. Delivery of contraceptives should be accompanied by complete information on their effective use. Efforts should be targeted especially at groups at high risk abortion, including adolescents and women hospitalized for complications.
