Legally induced abortion in Croatia-public health implications

Abortion still represents quite a frequent mode of family planning or of solving undesirable pregnancy. The aim of the paper is to present the pattern of induced abortion in Croatia during 1990-2000 period, and to try to predict trends of legally induced abortions. The low use of contraceptive measures in a country where these are provided free of charge and where the population should be highly motivated for abortion restriction, indicates that the majority of the women of reproductive age are inadequately informed on their right for free contraceptive measures.
