This cross-sectional study utilized 2014 Ghana demographic and health survey data. Ghana was divided into urban (n=216) and rural (n=211) settings using information available from the Ghanaian population commission. A stratified two-stage cluster sampling technique was used to select married women (n=1,828). The dependent variable was “abortion” in marriage, and was measured with the question: “Have you ever had a pregnancy termination in your marriage?” Independent variables included sociodemographic characteristics. Intermediate variables included the desired number of children, the number of children ever born, the desire for more children, knowledge of contraceptive measures, and the unmet need for family planning. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a logistic regression model (α=0.05).
