In this hard-hitting timely book Judith Orr, leading pro-choice campaigner, argues that it\u2019s time women had the right to control their fertility without the practical, legal and ideological barriers they have faced for generations.\u00a0 47,000 women die annually from illegal abortions. Worldwide, anti-abortion campaigners attack women\u2019s rights under existing law.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, women cross borders or buy pills online. In the US, Ireland, Poland and Latin America restrictions on abortion have provoked mass resistance, Combining analysis of statistics, popular culture and social attitudes with powerful first-hand accounts of women\u2019s experiences and a history of women\u2019s attempts to control their bodies, the author shows that despite the 1967 Abortion Act full reproductive rights in Britain are yet to be won. The book also highlights current debates over decriminalisation and argues for abortion provision fit for the 21st century.<\/p>\n
