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. 517 $aDecriminalising Abortion in the UK 606 $aAbortion$xGovernment policy$zGreat Britain 606 $aDecriminalization 615 0$aAbortion$xGovernment policy 615 0$aDecriminalization. 676 $a362.198880941 702 $aWellings$b Kaye 702 $aSheldon$b Sally 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996517765403316 996 $aDecriminalising Abortion in the UK$92921929 997 $aUNISA
