The author, a British journalist, uses data such as statistics and laws that central around the idea of abortion. She composed a comprehensive work stating that abortion should be legalized and also easily accessible to the public and not view morally wrong worldwide. She gives an insight to the infinite possibilities on why legalizing abortion will better the world and talks upon it on the basis of the rights of women. She includes many stories from many recon tries and whole wide spectrum of issues that are brought up along the lines of abortion such as aids HIV and parental issues and such. She believes that for many to concede the pro-life movement, people must understand that this is a controversial debate.

The author, professor at Loyola Martmount University use data from personal experience of those who underwent under the cases of abortion and critiques the perspective that abortion is not in any way inhuman and wrong in any sense. He examines hard cases where even if the baby is just beginning to become a fetus, the option of abortion is not morally wrong. Such hard cases consist of rape, and sex slaves and other rationales and why people are so personally opposed to the idea. Another way he incorporates this is by having the stories of these women’s past and connects it toward their rationality of abortion. In contrast, many argue that all intentional abortions are morally wrong and that many doctors who reject abortion should not be manipulated and forced to go against their consciences.
