Extract
We were astonished and disturbed to find that in our own hospital 100 infants every year are unwanted during pregnancy and are still unwanted after delivery, and that these are infants of married women with families. There certainly are, then, sufficient numbers of unwanted pregnancies resulting in unwanted infants to presume that they may make up the majority of the beaten and neglected children. We did not prove that they did make up the majority of these children but, as stated in the conclusions, it is a likely possibility.
