Summary

Contraception and abortion allow women to control their reproduction. The means to accomplish reproductive control have improved over the past century as the result of revolutionary social and medical advances. The subtitle of this book refers to family planning and abortion, but our primary focus is on abortion. Contraception, while still politically embattled and not universally available, is no longer in the eye of the reactionary storm in most countries. Nevertheless, integration of all aspects of contraception into medical education is incomplete.
