Abstract
The first annual report after enactment of the new liberalized abortion law in California shows that a total of 91% of the 4,291 applicants for therapeutic abortion were approved; a total of 3,775 therapeutic abortions were performed. The overall incidence of therapeutic abortions to live births was 11.2:1,000. Psychiatric indications accounted for 86% of the abortions performed. An analysis of the experience at San Mateo County General Hospital is presented to review indications, methods, and complications.Keywords
