Abortion
Abortions have been conducted across several cultures, since ancient times, earlier than 1075 B.C. This globally-conscious volume explores attitudes, policies and laws regarding abortion around the world. Chapters explain the stance of each of the world's major religions on abortion, as well as the impact of civil laws prohibiting abortion in several countries. Also discussed is the practice of sex selection using abortion or developing technologies, and the value of sex education in reducing abortion rates.
