Background: Worldwide, around 73 million induced abortions take place every year. Of these, 45% are unsafe and can lead to complications.

Introduction: Fathers are increasingly involved in caring for children, and involvement by fathers of children with ASD is distinctly impacted by added demands of their child's diagnosis.
