Abstract
`titrebA Child, If I Want One, When I Want One...`/titreb After the laws on contraception and on abortion were voted, the slogan: “A child, if I want one, when I want one” implied that it would put an end to the tragedies of unwanted pregnancies. But in the privacy of our offices we sometimes hear another reality. The author addresses the issue of abortion, the relief it offers as well as the suffering it creates. This act that purports to be voluntary, is it freely decided upon, or is it alienated from other standards of today’s society? The choice of a pregnancy that is put off until a more favorable time, is it made without consequences? What is the reality of the inexorable passage of time and the limits of fertility in this era of absolute power and no limits?
