Abstract
Unintended pregnancy is an important public health problem worldwide. Unwanted pregnancies may end in induced abortion (legal or illegal, safe or unsafe) or in childbirth. In many parts of the world both can be life threatening. Even where both are safe, abortion is distressing for all concerned while unwanted births often lead to poor health and social outcomes for both the mother and her child.

意外妊娠是一个全球性的重要公共卫生问题。意外妊娠的结局包括人工流产(合法或非法的、安全或危险的)与分娩,在世界的许多地方这两者都可对生命产生威胁。即便两者都做到了安全,流产会引起精神痛苦,非计划内的生育也会导致母亲与孩子在健康及社会方面的不良状态。
