In 1795 the Marquis de Sade published his La Philosophic dans le boudoir, in which he proposed the use of induced abortion for social reasons and as a means of population control. It is from this time that medical and social acceptance of abortion can be dated, although previously the subject had not been discussed in public in modern times. It is suggested that it was largely due to de Sade's writing that induced abortion received the impetus which resulted in its subsequent spread in western society.
1795年，萨德侯爵出版了他的《闺房里的哲学》，书中他提议出于社会原因并作为一种人口控制手段而进行人工流产。正是从这个时候开始，可以追溯到医学和社会对堕胎的认可，尽管在此之前这个话题在现代并没有在公开场合被讨论过。有人认为，很大程度上是由于萨德的著作，人工流产才获得了动力，从而导致其随后在西方社会传播开来。
