According to a UN Report, "Although abortion is only permitted on therapeutic and limited juridical grounds, it is widely practised in Ecuador. The few studies available examining the incidence and prevalence of abortion do not distinguish between spontaneous and induced abortion and do not employ representative samples of the population.
