| Name | Preventing Unsafe Abortion and Its Consequences: Priorities For Research and Action |
| Description | This volume speaks to the global burden of unsafe abortion. The cost is largely borne by those who are most vulnerable and least able to access safe services: millions of poor women, young women, rural women and their families bear the lasting consequences of unsafe abortion. It is a cost that gets swept up in the debate about abortion; a debate that sometimes misses the day-to-day impact unsafe abortion has on women’s lives. This is a story of desperation. This is a story of women’s use of abortion under the most horrific circumstances. This is a story of the burdens on medical systems that can barely meet the most basic of needs, much less provide care for women suffering from entirely preventable injuries. |
