PIP: The study objectives were to determine the following: factors which might affect abortion attitudes and intentions; whether women having more permissive attitudes regarding abortion are more or less likely to use contraception; whether women who indicate they would actually intend to have an abortion if pregnant are more or less likely to use contraception; and whether women who have had an abortion are more or less likely to use contraception than women who have not had an abortion. Questionnaire data were obtained in 1975 from samples of high school and college females as part of a larger project involving the study of the sexual and contraceptive attitudes and behavior of young women. In the original study were 106 high school females from 2 Ontario, Canada high schools and 447 females from 2 universities and 3 community colleges in Ontario. Samples were nonrandom. 75% of the high school students approached participated compared with 99% of the university students. For the purposes of this study, responses from those who had experienced sexual intercourse and were currently in a dating relationship were analyzed. These 253 women were all single and had never been married. The age range was 16-22 years. 77% of the respondents believed that the decision to permit an abortion should be left to the woman and her physician; 22% disagreed and 1% were undecided. 52% indicated that if they were to become pregnant while single they would probably obtain an abortion. The 2nd preferred choice (23%) was to get married. 15% said that they would keep the baby and remain single, and 10% said they would give the baby up for adoption. 5% of the women had actually had an abortion, and 1% had given an infant up for adoption. 2 variables were significantly related to abortion intention: those who preferred an occupation over marriage were twice as likely to prefer abortion to completing the pregnancy; and 40% of those who did not know anyone who had had an abortion would prefer abortion over completing the pregnancy compared with 57% of those who did know someone who had had an abortion. There was no significant relationship between abortion attitudes and type of contraceptive method used at last intercourse or consistency of contraceptive use. Those who would choose an abortion were more likely to use oral contraception or IUD at last intercourse. There were no significant differences in contraceptive use between the subjects who had had an abortion and those who had never been pregnant. About 2/3 of both groups reported that they always used a contraceptive method.
