This revised and updated edition of the 2016 bestselling work sets
out the moral arguments for a woman's right to decide the future of
her pregnancy. Drawing on traditions of philosophical and
sociological thinking, it presents the case for recognizing
autonomy in personal, private decision-making about reproductive
intentions. Further, it argues that to prevent a woman making this
decision according to her own values is to undermine the essence of
her humanity. The author explores how true respect for human life
and regard for individual conscience demands that we support a
woman's right to decide, and that support for her right to
terminate her pregnancy has moral foundations and ethical
integrity. This second edition features a foreword by US abortion
provider and reproductive justice advocate Dr. Willie Parker, as
well as additional chapters that consider the rights of doctors and
nurses to withdraw from abortion provision on grounds of
conscience. Furedi also surveys the rapidly changing landscape of
the abortion debate, including the rights of women in the aftermath
of Trump's presidency; debates, politics and religion in Northern
Ireland and the Republic of Ireland; and the differing levels of
provision across Europe.
