Making Abortion Rare: A Healing Strategy for a Divided Nation

This book focuses in on the unfortunate reality that women seeking abortion are rarely, if ever, given information about the known risks. This means that most women who have chosen abortion did not give their informed consent, since they weren't given all the facts.

Making Abortion Rare goes beyond Aborted Women, Silent No More by providing ideas for disseminating information to women considering abortion and protecting their legal rights to sue for malpractice. Reardon often sites from Hern's Abortion Practices a text for abortion practitioners. He then asks why complications are both ignored by people doing intake at abortion clinics and not given to women as part of their informed consent. If you believe, women should have the right to choose an abortion do you also believe that doctors performing abortion must take the same amount of care other surgeons do?
