Abstract
International studies show that late termination of pregnancy causes more distress for the health-care professionals than early termination of pregnancy. The most commonly cited concern is the risk that the fetus will show signs of life after the abortion. Studies indicate that the cause of abortion, religious beliefs and profession influence the attitudes. The number of late terminations of pregnancy is increasing as the methods for prenatal diagnostics develop. As a result there is a need for research on Danish health-care professionals' attitudes towards late termination of pregnancy.
