This unique work assembles in a single volume data from several
continents on the general pattern of legal activity pertaining to
abortion, as well as service delivery, the incidence of abortion,
and the profile of aborting women. Each of the thirty-three essays

abortion policy; the role of the medical profession, news media,
religious and women's organizations, and other groups in
legislative enactments; and demographic data concerning women who
seek abortions. Also dealt with are the relation between abortion,
fertility behavior, and family planning policy and programs; the
incidence of, complications from, and morbidity as a result of
illegal abortions; and abortion research.
