本文研究了1980年至1993年期间北卡罗来纳州人工流产的季节性。不同的季节性模式，在2月和9月的山谷高峰。这些模式对应于与出生模式的季节性相关的概念的隐含季节性。与一般模式的一个显著不同之处是18岁及以下的未婚妇女。它们有2月的高峰和8月的另一个高峰，可能与学校的暑假有关。
This paper examines the seasonality of induced abortion in North Carolina between 1980 and 1993. Distinct seasonal patterns are found, with a peak in February and a valley in September. These patterns correspond to the implicit seasonality of conceptions associated with the seasonality of birth pattern. One notable difference from the general pattern is among unmarried women aged 18 and younger. They have the February peak and an additional peak in August that may be associated with the summer vacation from school.
