Article Abstract
Women resort to abortion in all possible contexts and the motives for abortion reflect the need of women for planned parenthood. Women's experiences of abortion are complex; the abortion is experienced as a relief and regarded as a form of exercising responsibility. This does not exclude ethical reasoning or simultaneous painful feelings. As long as abortion is understood primarily as a last resort among special risk groups and not as a phenomenon which reflect reproductive expectations among all groups in society, abortion will retain its image as something taboo. In addition, as long as women's complex considerations and experiences in relation to abortion remain hidden the myths about abortion will live on.

Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is the leading cause of thyroid dysfunction globally, characterized primarily by two distinct clinical manifestations: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Graves' disease (GD). The prevalence of AITD is approximately twice as high in women compared to men, with a particularly pronounced risk during the reproductive years. Pregnancy exerts profound effects on thyroid physiology and immune regulation due to hormonal fluctuations and immune adaptations aimed at fostering maternal-fetal tolerance, potentially triggering or exacerbating AITD.
