The public and parliamentary debate about UK abortion law reform is often diverted away from key moral and political questions by disputes regarding basic questions of fact. And all too often, claims of scientific 'fact' are ideologically driven. But what effect would decriminalisation be likely to have on women's health? What would be the impact on the incidence of abortions? Would decriminalisation equate to deregulation, sweeping away necessary restrictions on dangerous or malicious conduct? With each chapter written by leading experts in the fields of medicine, law, reproductive health and social science, this book offers a concise and authoritative account of the evidence regarding the likely impact of decriminalisation of abortion in the UK.Decriminalising Abortion in the UKAbortionGovernment policyGreat BritainDecriminalizationAbortionGovernment policyDecriminalization.362.198880941Wellings KayeSheldon SallyNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910372815003321Decriminalising Abortion in the UK2921929UNINA
