Abstract
A sociological study was conducted to study the attitude of young people to artificial termination of pregnancy. In our study, the majority of young people not only condemn abortions (31.3%), but also believe that it is possible to allow artificial termination of pregnancy only for strict medical reasons (26%), legislative prohibition is supported by 7.7% of respondents. About a third of the respondents (29.3%) adhere to liberal views on termination of pregnancy, they consider this procedure normal – "a woman has the right to decide for herself."A significant positive correlation was established between having children and the respondents' attitude to abortion (ꭓ2= 20,815; p=0.000). In our study, having children determines the negative attitude towards artificial termination of pregnancy.
