The Abortion Dilemma: Personal Views on a Public Issue Miriam Claire

2012 Abortion Dilemma Update Personal Views on a Public Issue MIRIAM CLAIRE Foreword by Marcy L. Bloom The Abortion Dilemma is a remarkable guide for anyone thinking about abortion, especially women forced to deal with the very personal decision to have, or not have, an abortion. The book explores the role of men as well as other unique aspects of an abortion conflict that are typically neglected when the subject is discussed in the public arena. Abortion is personal. What people say in public about the subject can be very different from what they do in private when confronted with an unintended pregnancy. Uncompromising in its frankness and truth, The Abortion Dilemma articulates the myriad aspects of abortion that readers should consider, especially; varied responses of women and men to the reality of abortion; the scope of effects of abortion on a woman's relationship with her partner; religious and cultural perceptions; the special needs of victims impregnated through rape or who are HIV positive; factors to consider when fetal abnormality is suspected; results of the incongruous history of abortion legality and parental consent laws The Abortion Dilemma is a vital tool for women dealing with an unintended pregnancy conflict as well as the medical community, social workers, public health officials, the clergy, the legal profession, politicians, marriage counselors, and women's rights advocates.
