Sharing Responsibility: Women, Society and Abortion WorldwideThese reports from the Guttmacher Institute gives a thorough overview of abortion in the United States and worldwide including trends, etiology, socio-cultural and economic impacts. Among other things they dramatically demonstrate two universal facts that are well known to social workers, scientists, and health care professionals but lost on many pro-life advocates, particularly those of the Religious Right—that the key to reducing abortion rates lies not in social stigma or moralizing but in reducing unwanted pregnancies, and that get-tough abortion laws and demands for abstinence do virtually nothing other than increase illness and death among mothers and infants.
