Access to and Experience of Later Abortion: Accounts from Women in Scotland

Abstract: Reasons for seeking later abortion are complex and varied among women in Scotland, and suggest that reducing barriers to access and improving local provision of such abortions are a necessity. The candidacy framework allows for a fuller understanding of the difficulties involved in obtaining abortions.

“…For instance, other researchers have extended Dixon-Woods' concept and adopted the Candidacy lens when exploring healthcare access across a range of social groups (Hunter et al, 2013;Klassen et al, 2008;Koehn, 2009;Kovandzic et al, 2011;Mackenzie et al, 2013;Purcell et al, 2014) and propose additional dimensions (race, gender, symptom-type), often alongside social disadvantage, that similarly impinge on the Candidacy process.…”

Both Koehn and Klassen emphasise the importance of social norms apparent in elder minority ethnic communities on the Candidacy process, and Klassen goes on to demonstrate that these, along with issues of racism and socio-economic disadvantage, construct a series of interrelated barriers to the enactment of Candidacy (Klassen et al, 2008;Koehn, 2009).…”

“…Although it is a lived reality for approximately one in three women of reproductive age (Stone & Ingham, 2011), abortion continues to be framed as a topic for abstract public debate, with a common focus on gestational time limits (Purcell, Cameron, et al., 2014).
