A survey of women with unplanned exnuptial pregnancies in Brisbane.
The social circumstances of women with exnuptial unplanned pregnancies were surveyed, and the differences between those continuing with their pregnancy and those who decided to terminate their pregnancy were compared. Women who continued their pregnancies were younger, poorer, less educated, and more likely to be employed in unskilled jobs when compared with those who decided to have their pregnancy terminated.
