Why not? A book for every woman

The author presents a medical appeal to women about induced abortion, examining its legal and moral framing, the physiological dangers to immediate and long-term female health, and the prevalence of forced miscarriages. The essay surveys physicians' past roles in promoting or preventing the practice, defines intentional abortion when not required to save the mother's life, catalogs common excuses offered to justify the act, and recommends public and private alternatives and preventive measures. An appendix of correspondence supplements the clinical observations and reinforces the proposed remedies.
