Comparison of Child and Infant Mortality Rates (1997)
Population Policies and Reproductive Rights under Socialist State 1957-1966: women viewed as primarily economic resources: free access to abortion contraceptive use was not encouraged 1966-1989: women viewed as primarily reproductive resources access to legal abortion restricted to: - women over 45 years of age, or women who had at least five children - modern methods of contraception banned - taxes on childless couples/unmarried people
WOMEN NARRATIVES (1) As a woman I had to learn not only to cook, to sew, and to raise my children, but also how to induce an abortion (unskilled worker, mother of three). I made a catheter using an electric cable from which I extracted the metal wires. I tried several times to insert it by myself and finally succeeded (kindergarten teacher, mother of three). Nobody and nothing could stop me in my making the decision to get rid of my pregnancy. I assumed all risks involved; I did what I felt I should do for my family, to bring up my children (factory worker, mother of two).
