Abstract
Based primarily on responses of men accompanying their sexual partners to an abortion clinic, this exploratory study examines the decision to seek abortion in terms of the relationship of the couple. Findings suggest that, for those who come to the clinic as a couple, the abortion decision indicates neither a pathological relationship nor the likelihood of negative sequelae. Clinical implications and directions for further research are discussed.Keywords
