[Samantha · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is full of differing views on the morality of abortion, for different reasons or under different circumstances. Discussed are points on how abortion can be abused, why someone may make the decision to terminate different pregnancies at different stages of development, repercussions of allowing or disallowing abortion and opinions and ideas on regulation. This is a very thought-provoking book, and it treats all included viewpoints with respect and care.
