Abstract: Unintended Pregnancy is among the troubling public health problems and a major reproductive health issue worldwide imposing appreciable socioeconomic burden on individuals and society. Governments generally plan to control growth of births (especially wanted births as well as orphans and illegitimate births) imposing extra burden on public funding of the government which inevitably affects economic efficiency and leads to economic slowdown, too. The current study includes the causes for unintended pregnancies and reasons for opting medical termination of that pregnancy.
