IFPA’s report also showed that almost half of the women who presented at their clinics for their early abortion services were mothers. Almost 70% of patients were not using contraception when they became pregnant, while 20% were using condoms and 8% the contraceptive pill. About 4% had used long-acting contraceptives, the morning after pill, or the withdrawal method.
