Book Abortion Law in Transnational Perspective

Download or read book Abortion Law in Transnational Perspective written by Rebecca J. Cook and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-08-13 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is increasingly implausible to speak of a purely domestic abortion law, as the legal debates around the world draw on precedents and influences of different national and regional contexts. While the United States and Western Europe may have been the vanguard of abortion law reform in the latter half of the twentieth century, Central and South America are proving to be laboratories of thought and innovation in the twenty-first century, as are particular countries in Africa and Asia. Abortion Law in Transnational Perspective offers a fresh look at significant transnational legal developments in recent years, examining key judicial decisions, constitutional texts, and regulatory reforms of abortion law in order to envision ways ahead. The chapters investigate issues of access, rights, and justice, as well as social constructions of women, sexuality, and pregnancy, through different legal procedures and regimes. They address the promises and risks of using legal procedure to achieve reproductive justice from different national, regional, and international vantage points; how public and courtroom debates are framed within medical, religious, and human rights arguments; the meaning of different narratives that recur in abortion litigation and language; and how respect for women and prenatal life is expressed in various legal regimes. By exploring how legal actors advocate, regulate, and adjudicate the issue of abortion, this timely volume seeks to build on existing developments to bring about change of a larger order.

Book Unsafe Abortion and Women s Health

Download or read book Unsafe Abortion and Women s Health written by Colin Francome and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unsafe abortion remains one of the most neglected sexual and reproductive health problems according to the World Health Organisation. In recent years it has been estimated that nearly 44 million abortions occur annually leading to around 47,000 deaths. At this rate a woman will die of an unsafe abortion every 11 minutes. Bringing together a wealth of information from around the world, this book argues that the time has come for a great change in legislation, advocating a shift towards the legalization of abortion to improve the health of women in poorer countries. With attention to circumstances in each of the major continental regions, an outline of the global situation is provided to reveal the major trends in the provision and procurement of abortion, as well their effects. Presenting data drawn from over a hundred countries covering over ninety per cent of the world’s population, based on published statistical information, changes to legal frameworks, court cases and the accounts of local commentators and activists, Unsafe Abortion and Women's Health will be of interest to scholars and students of the sociology of medicine, gender and reproductive health, social and health policy and feminist studies.

Book Reproductive Health and Human Rights

Download or read book Reproductive Health and Human Rights written by Laura Reichenbach and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-11-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reproductive Health and Human Rights: The Way Forward critically reflects on the past fifteen years of international efforts aimed at improving health, alleviating poverty, diminishing gender inequality, and promoting human rights. The volume includes essays by leading scholars and practitioners that are centered on the 1994 United Nations International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and its resulting Programme of Action. ICPD, an agreement among 179 governments, UN agencies, and NGOs, was intended to shape population and development policy—reinterpreted and redefined as "reproductive health." More than a decade after the enthusiasm that accompanied ICPD, there is growing concern about its effectiveness in the context of global health and development. Reproductive Health and Human Rights addresses that concern. The book grapples with fundamental questions about the relationships among population, fertility decline, reproductive health, human rights, poverty alleviation, and development and assesses the various arguments—demographic, public health, human rights-based, and economic—for and against ICPD today. A number of the chapters address institutional challenges to ICPD and consider how the changing political, religious, academic, and disciplinary contexts matter. Other chapters engage operational and conceptual issues and whether ICPD has been able to move the reproductive health agenda forward on topics such as maternal mortality, abortion, HIV/AIDS, adolescents, reproductive technologies, and demography. Finally, several chapters examine how ICPD has been sidelined by emerging health and development agendas and what could be done in response. Unlike any book yet published, Reproductive Health and Human Rights: The Way Forward examines the state of the arguments for reproductive health and rights from a multidisciplinary perspective that provides policymakers, scholars, and activists with a better understanding of how reproductive health and rights have developed, their place in the global policy agenda, and how they might evolve most effectively in the future.

Book Abortion Freedom

    Book Details:
  • Author : Colin Francome
  • Publisher : Taylor & Francis
  • Release : 2024-05-01
  • ISBN : 1040026400
  • Pages : 209 pages

Download or read book Abortion Freedom written by Colin Francome and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1984, Abortion Freedom explains the main reasons for widespread international liberalisation of abortion laws. Colin Francome points out that the birth control movement had its roots in a concern with overpopulation and that this is still a crucial issue today. A major change, however, is that whereas in the early days the socialists were often opposed to birth control they are now amongst the keenest supporters of the woman’s right to choose. The author pays particular attention to the debates in the United States, France and Italy. It is aimed primarily at students of politics, sociology and law but it has a much wider appeal to the general public as a readable explanation of the ideas and strategies of the opposing forces involved.

Book The Effect of Abortion Liberalization on Sexual Behavior

Download or read book The Effect of Abortion Liberalization on Sexual Behavior written by Jonathan Klick and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most industrialized countries have increased access to abortion over the past 30 years. Economic theory predicts that abortion laws affect sexual behavior since they change the marginal cost of having risky sex. We use gonorrhea incidence as a metric of risky sexual behavior. Using a panel of 41 North American, European and Central Asian countries over the period 1980-2000, we estimate the impact of abortion law reform on risky sex. Compared to the most restrictive legislation that permits abortion only to save the pregnant woman's life or her physical health, more liberal abortion laws are associated with at least thirty additional gonorrhea cases per 100,000 individuals. The marginal effect of laws which make abortion available on request is larger than the effect of laws which allow abortion on socioeconomic and mental health grounds. Our results are robust against a set of alternative sample constructions and model specifications.

Book When Abortion Was a Crime

    Book Details:
  • Author : Leslie J. Reagan
  • Publisher : Univ of California Press
  • Release : 2022-02-22
  • ISBN : 0520387422
  • Pages : 433 pages

Download or read book When Abortion Was a Crime written by Leslie J. Reagan and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of abortion in the United States, with a new preface that equips readers for what’s to come. When Abortion Was a Crime is the must-read book on abortion history. Originally published ahead of the thirtieth anniversary of Roe v. Wade, this award-winning study was the first to examine the entire period during which abortion was illegal in the United States, beginning in the mid-nineteenth century and ending with that monumental case in 1973. When Abortion Was a Crime is filled with intimate stories and nuanced analysis, demonstrating how abortion was criminalized and policed—and how millions of women sought abortions regardless of the law. With this edition, Leslie J. Reagan provides a new preface that addresses the dangerous and ongoing threats to abortion access across the country, and the precarity of our current moment. While abortions have typically been portrayed as grim "back alley" operations, this deeply researched history confirms that many abortion providers—including physicians—practiced openly and safely, despite prohibitions by the state and the American Medical Association. Women could find cooperative and reliable practitioners; but prosecution, public humiliation, loss of privacy, and inferior medical care were a constant threat. Reagan's analysis of previously untapped sources, including inquest records and trial transcripts, shows the fragility of patient rights and raises provocative questions about the relationship between medicine and law. With the right to abortion increasingly under attack, this book remains the definitive history of abortion in the United States, offering vital lessons for every American concerned with health care, civil liberties, and personal and sexual freedom.

Book Abortion Law Reforms and Cognitive Abilities of Teens in Romania

Download or read book Abortion Law Reforms and Cognitive Abilities of Teens in Romania written by Alina Botezat and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We exploit the drastic liberalization of abortion laws in Romania in 1989 to examine long-term unintended consequences of abortion law reforms for the educational performance of children. Using test scores from PISA surveys conducted among the 1990, 1993, and 1996 birth cohorts, we employ a before-after strategy and a differences-in-differences approach to identify the effect of abortion law liberalization on children's cognitive abilities. Children born under a liberal abortion policy score significantly higher on tests, with the effects being higher in reading and science scores. Children born after abortion law liberalization are also more likely to attend an academic high school compared to those born under the old abortion law. Boys and children born in rural areas are more likely to benefit from the liberalization of abortion law. These outcomes can mainly be explained by the fact that these children were more likely to have been planned and wanted at the time of conception.
