Abstract/OtherAbstract:
South Africa legalized abortion in 1996. I am originally from the Netherlands and came to South Africa in 2000, to assist in the Termination of Pregnancy programme. In March 2007, at an international conference on second trimester abortion, I described my life as an abortion doctor living in Cape Town, South Africa. I was urged to write down what my working life in the Western Cape is like, and this paper is the result. It is a diary of a typical work week, recorded in early 2008.
