THE MORAL CASE FOR ABORTION - ANN FUREDI KARTON...

This revised and updated edition of the 2016 bestselling work sets out the moral arguments for
a woman's right to decide the future of her pregnancy. Drawing on traditions of philosophical
and sociological thinking  it presents the case for recognizing autonomy in personal  private
decision-making about reproductive intentions. Further  it argues that to prevent a woman
making this decision according to her own values is to undermine the essence of her humanity.
The author explores how true respect for human life and regard for individual conscience
demands that we support a woman's right to decide  and that support for her right to terminate
her pregnancy has moral foundations and ethical integrity. This second edition features a
foreword by US abortion provider and reproductive justice advocate Dr. Willie Parker  as well
as additional chapters that consider the rights of doctors and nurses to withdraw from abortion
provision on grounds of conscience. Furedi also surveys the rapidly changing landscape of the
abortion debate  including the rights of women in the aftermath of Trump's presidency  debates
politics and religion in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland  and the differing levels
of provision across Europe.
