Legislation of socialistic countries is far more democratic in this respect. There are many factors, on which depend whether to legalize or not induced interruption of pregnancy. In Roman-catholic countries the religious motives are determinant, but in some other countries--the demographic policy of the government, ect. The practice however prove that induced abortions are widely distributes in Europe. The number of registered abortions is quite large in the socialistic countries. The data show that Bulgaria occupies one the first places (61.9% of women). Furthermore there are a series of problems in connection with the formation of high sexual culture of the population.
