The effects of gender-based violence on women's unwanted pregnancy and abortion.
The authors sought to understand how gender-based violence across the life-course affects the likelihood of abortion and studied four different forms of gender-based abuse. They found that no single form of abuse predicted abortion; however, the cumulative effect of multiple forms of abuse did increase the odds of abortion. The authors suggested that priority in future research should be given to screening for multiple forms of victimization in reproductive healthcare settings.
