In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court concluded in Roe v. Wade that the
U.S. Constitution protects a woman's decision to terminate her
pregnancy. In Doe v. Bolton, a companion decision, the Court found
that a state may not unduly burden the exercise of that fundamental
right with regulations that prohibit or substantially limit access
to the means of effectuating the decision to have an abortion.
Rather than settle the issue, the Court's rulings since Roe and Doe
have continued to generate debate and have precipitated a variety
of governmental actions at the national, state, and local levels
designed either to nullify the rulings or limit their effect. These
governmental regulations have, in turn, spawned further litigation
in which resulting judicial refinements in the law have been no
more successful in dampening the controversy. Although the primary
focus of this book is legislative action with respect to abortion,
discussion of the various legislative proposals necessarily
involves an examination of the leading Supreme Court decisions
concerning a woman's right to choose. This book also summarizes
laws on abortion in selected European countries which shows diverse
approaches to the regulation of abortion in Europe. A majority of
the surveyed countries allow abortion upon the woman's request in
the early weeks of pregnancy, and allow abortion under specified
circumstances in later periods.
