What does it take in the United States to defend abortion rights?Abortion must be viewed as a claim of uncompromising justice in order to be defended as an inviolable right. This book's incisive essays support this claim.Treating abortion as a form of essential health care is a significant step forward, and advocates could draft the most simple, supportive law possible, putting first-trimester abortion care in primary and community settings, ensuring second-trimester services, involving mid-level providers, increasing women's awareness of services and the law, aiming for universal access, incorporating WHO-approved methods, and addressing social asymmetry.

What can a relentlessly positive supermarket employee, a strong-minded mother with a secret, a mistress of distraction (and oversharing) and a miss-adventurer in bi-sexual dating do in one long, hot summer?
