The experience of a Pregnancy Advisory Service operating in terms of the Abortion and Sterilization Act of 1975 is reviewed. A total of 454 applications for abortion were considered, of which 198 (44%) were accepted and the abortions performed. The urgent need for sex education at schools, colleges and universities is stressed, in view of the large number of scholars and students under the age of 17 who seek an abortion. There are also patients who discontinue contraception for a variety of reasons, on medical advice or otherwise, without an alternative being suggested or sought. Motivation of patient, nurse and doctor needs urgent improvement.
对一家依据1975年《堕胎与绝育法案》运营的怀孕咨询服务机构的经验进行了回顾。总共审议了454例堕胎申请，其中198例（44%）获批并实施了堕胎手术。鉴于大量17岁以下的学者和学生寻求堕胎，强调了在中小学、学院和大学开展性教育的迫切需求。也有患者出于各种原因，在医生建议或其他情况下停止避孕，却未得到替代避孕方法的建议或寻求。患者、护士和医生的动机亟待改善。
