title: [Attitudes towards medical abortion among gynecologic patients].
abstract: This study describes and discusses the attitudes regarding use of medical abortion among patients at a department of gynaecology. The patients received a leaflet about medical abortion and subsequently answered a questionnaire. If given the choice, half of the patients would prefer medical abortion. The answer was independent of age, marital status and choice of contraceptive. The study provides information on women's priorities regarding abortion and justifies the introduction of medical abortion in Denmark.
