"This collection of essays, written exclusively by women, is dedicated to examaning the central pro-aborton claim that whatever the status of the fetus, the very well-being of women is dependent on the legal right to abortion. Though the twelve authors here do make a strong case against abortion, they do not do so by rehashing the now-familiar pro-life positions. Instead of emphasizing the human righrs of the fetus, these authors focus on a theme more commonly linked with abortion advocates: that abortion impacts the well-being of women. However, unlike advocates of abortion, they do not see that impact as favorable. On the contrary, these authors argue that over the last three decades, legal abortion has had deleterious effects on women - socially, medically, psychologically and culturally.

"This collection of essays, written exclusively by women, is dedicated to examaning the central pro-aborton claim that whatever the status of the fetus, the very well-being of women is dependent on the legal right to abortion. Though the twelve authors here do make a strong case against abortion, they do not do so by rehashing the now-familiar pro-life positions. Instead of emphasizing the human righrs of the fetus, these authors focus on a theme more commonly linked with abortion advocates: that abortion impacts the well-being of women. However, unlike advocates of abortion, they do not see that impact as favorable. On the contrary, these authors argue that over the last three decades, legal abortion has had deleterious effects on women - socially, medically, psychologically and culturally.
