title: Patient recall of induced abortion.
abstract: 15 of 92 women who underwent induced abortions and subsequently gave birth denied their abortions in a medical interview. Religious women and women with fewer children were more likely to deny than others. Obstetricians as well as investigators examining the effects of induced abortions must be aware that women may fail to provide accurate abortion histories.
