Series: What Do We Know and What Should We Do About:

Abortion affects millions of lives, and the conversations around it matter.

This book cuts through the noise to explain what abortion really means for people who need it, and why access to safe care is so important. Drawing on real experiences from around the world, it looks at how attitudes to abortion have changed over time, how laws and technology shape people’s choices, and what happens when access to abortion rights is limited or denied. It also shows how campaigning and human rights work have helped bring about change—and what still needs to be done.

Inside, you’ll find:

Clear explanations of the social, legal, and health issues surrounding abortion Stories and examples from countries including India, Ireland, and South Korea for a global view of reproductive rights Real-world cases that show how people have successfully pushed for policy change

Written for students, campaigners, and anyone who wants to understand abortion beyond the headlines, this book offers an informed, human look at one of today’s most important issues.
