Abortion Ban From The Moment of Fertilization: A Blatant Attack on Women's Reproductive Rights

With the Supreme Court on the verge of overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion decision, the American discussion appears to be focused on competing rights.

Where did proponents of Roe v. Wade go astray? What happened to their moral high ground? What does it take in the United States to defend abortion rights?

Abortion must be viewed as a claim of uncompromising justice in order to be defended as an inviolable right. This book's incisive essays support this claim.

Treating abortion as a form of essential health care is a significant step forward, and advocates could draft the most simple, supportive law possible, putting first-trimester abortion care in primary and community settings, ensuring second-trimester services, involving mid-level providers, increasing women's awareness of services and the law, aiming for universal access, incorporating WHO-approved methods, and addressing social asymmetry.
