Unintended Pregnancies, Restrictive Abortion Laws, and Abortion Demand

This study examines the effect restrictive state abortion laws have on the pregnancy resolution decisions of women with unintended pregnancies. The empirical results find that the abortion ratio and the abortion rate of unintended pregnancies are more sensitive to increases in the abortion price than previous estimates that analyzed total pregnancies (unintended and intended). A Medicaid funding restriction has very little effect on a state's abortion rate of unintended pregnancies, but causes a larger decrease in the number of abortions of unintended pregnancies than previous estimates. A parental involvement law is associated with a significant reduction in a state's abortion ratio and the abortion rate of unintended pregnancies, which suggests that the law may have a behavioral modification effect. Neither a mandatory counseling law nor a two-visit law has a significant effect on a state's abortion ratio and the abortion rate of unintended pregnancies.

Infective endocarditis as a result of obstetric and gynecological sepsis

The special place taken the problem of infectious failure of endocardial structures in obstetric-gynecologic practice. In this article given the analyses of the results of leading research and treatment of women patients with infectious endocarditic in puerperal period.
