Rezensionen

"This work sets out in meticulous detail many of the fundamental issues and biases that surround abortion decision making and access. ... it is worthwhile. It sets out the important issues and contentions. It makes you face yourself. It acknowledges the woman beside you." (Ann Brassil, Conscience, consciencemag.org, Issue 3, November, 2017)

"She offers a convincing case for the removal of abortion from the framework of criminal law. ... The Moral Case For Abortion makes a persuasive case for the decriminalisation of abortion. It deserves a wide readership, not least among doctors who have for too long colluded in the abrogation of women's rights in this crucial area of their lives." (Michael Fitzpatrick, Spiked, spiked-online.com, September, 2016)
"This thought-provoking book provides a fresh perspective on abortion, which will interest both pro- and anti-choice individuals and organizations, along with academics in the fields of gender studies, philosophy, ethics and religion." (Garima Shrivastava, The ASAP Blog, asap-asia.org, August, 2016)
