About

An unwanted pregnancy is a pregnancy which the mother would prefer to terminate (through abortion if necessary) for any of a number of possible reasons.

  • Many unwanted pregnancies may also be unintended, but some unintended pregnancies are wanted and some intended pregnancies become unwanted (most commonly due to medical issues). Unintended pregnancies are not a problem per se; a problem only exists if the pregnancy is unwanted.
