Abstract
This is a subject in which one can readily become entangled in semantic confusion. Short definitions of the unwanted pregnancy are always inadequate and I am going to assume that we all know what we mean by the term. I would comment that a planned pregnancy is a wanted pregnancy, but not all unplanned pregnancies are ultimately unwanted. Many of us here could, in truth, be described as more or less happy accidents.Keywords
