title: How Basic Beliefs about Human Life Relate to Ethical Judgments about Induced Abortion.
abstract: This survey explores family planning field workers' basic beliefs and value assessments related to a new human life and their relationship to their verbal statements of ethical judgments about induced abortion under varying circumstances. It also relates these beliefs to stated experience of abortion referrals. Implications for education and research with application to many international social issues are discussed.
