Abortion is a woman's health concern and a complex moral dilemma
everywhere. It is now also one of the most intractable social and
political problems of our time. This book provides the first account of
the abortion controversy globally. It examines how this issue is being
played out beyond the established western liberal democracies and how
the Catholic Church and other groups engage it worldwide. The questions
addressed in this scholarly and readable work are of paramount
significance for the future management of this dispute.
