Kontrowersyjna „polityka” kontroli urodzeń za pomocą aborcji
Controversial ,,policy” of birth control through abortion

Summary/Abstract: In many developing countries abortion is still the main form of birth control. In the formercommunist countries abortion was also the basic method of population control . This paper discussesand evaluates the current debate on abortion aimed at making it rarer and not available for every woman,,at demand”. The basic arguments of the proponents of pro-life and pro-choice were analysedas well as the various approaches of pro-life politicians who want to make abortion illegal or harderto get. The fact is that in most Western countries the abortion rate is stable or falling, but it is rising inLatin America and in some parts of Africa and Asia. The most controversial question is the so calledeugenic abortion and the criteria according to which such an abortion is implemented. The best wayto make abortion rarer is to prevent unwanted pregnancies. In order to achieve that aim more shouldbe done in the field of birth-control counselling, making contraceptives easy to get and educatingcouples about various methods of birth control, other than abortion.
