Let's discuss abortion

---

This series which is designed to promote discussion among children, deals with a wide range of social issues. The text is complemented by a number of fictional, personal case studies which have been taken out of copyright, so they can be copied and distributed in the classroom. Each chapter ends with a short series of questions to help children develop their own opinions on the subjects discussed. This text is an introduction to abortion, in particular the way it affects teenagers, asking who should decide what happens when a pregnancy is unwanted, why someone might need an abortion and going on to examine the emotional, social, moral and legal arguments for and against it. Alternatives are discussed such as adoption, or bringing the child up despite difficult circumstances and the book concludes by looking at how unwanted pregnancies can be prevented and discusses the range of contraceptive methods available. Case studies consider a variety of women in situations where abortion is an option. Anne Charlish is author of "First Aid and Home Safety".
