Pragmatics of everyday life: A qualitative study of induced abortion among Tibetan women in Lhasa.

Many abortions are performed annually in the People's Republic of China, where the practice is legal, largely safe, and readily available. In this article we present a qualitative study exploring the experiences and perceptions of sixteen Tibetan women who had undergone induced abortions, and five healthcare workers from hospitals in Lhasa in which abortions are carried out. Our findings in this first study of abortion in the Tibet Autonomous Region suggest that despite the availability and medical safety of abortion services, Tibetan women must deal with various social, ethical, and religious challenges related to the practice, as well as limited knowledge and availability of contraceptives.
