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.

The frequent occurrence of unwanted pregnancies worldwide is almost universally seen as a problem, though "pro-life" and "pro-choice" political factions advocate very different solutions.
