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 abortionStories and examples from countries including India, Ireland, and South Korea for a global view of reproductive rightsReal-world cases that show how people have successfully pushed for policy changeWritten 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.
