Where do you turn when you are wrestling with a painful
decision& #63; You turn to your spouse, trusted friends and
relatives, to professionals, to religious advisers. But sometimes
you want accurate information and suggestions all in one place, in
a form you can use on your own.
The decision to have an abortion is not an easy one, and it is
not the right decision for every pregnant woman, even in difficult
circumstances. Every situation is different. Women considering
abortion range in age from nine to fifty-five years. They are rich
and poor; married and unmarried; white, black, brown, yellow, and
red; members of every religious group and ethnic origin;
heterosexual and homosexual. Some have no one to talk to and others
have too many people talking to them. Some are in danger from
physical, sexual, and emotional abuse.
"Abortion: Facts and Feelings" is for women who are considering
whether to have an abortion, women who have had an abortion and
want to do more thinking about it, and relatives, mates, lovers,
friends, and health professionals who want to help the women they
care for make the best possible choices for themselves. Partners in
relationships, families, and friends, and, of course, pregnant
women themselves, deserve to have accurate information about this
common, but controversial, procedure& mdash;information they
can use to make both personal and policy decisions.
This book contains that information. It discusses The practice
of abortion in other times and places, and practical information
about how it is practiced now How to find out about abortion laws
where you live, and laws in other places where you might go if
necessary The attitudes of major NorthAmerican religious groups
about abortion, and how to obtain more specific information about
the approaches of your religion to your situation The medical and
psychological outcomes of abortion Alternatives to abortion&
mdash;delivering the baby and either caring for it yourself or
allowing someone else to provide the parenting The needs and
concerns of women in special circumstances, and of women&
rsquo;s loved ones
Most important, it will help you think through and carry out
your own decision, whatever it is.
