About this book
Women's needs are placed at the centre of this collection. The contributors discuss the extent to which the contemporary legal framework on abortion matches the needs of women faced with unwanted pregnancy. The book contains sections on Britain, including an account of the campaign to legalize abortion, written by those centrally involved with that campaign; international comparisons of abortion law, with chapters on France, the United States, Ireland and Poland; and chapters covering contemporary debates, including men's rights in abortion and abortion for foetal abnormality.
Reviews
'In this collection, Ellie Lee brings together innovative essays about the debates surrounding abortion. On a subject where controversy is inevitable, the authors in this extremely valuable volume offer us a reading of abortion for the twenty-first century.' - Professor Mary Evans, University of Kent at Canterbury
