This anthology brings together the voices of abortion providers, counselors, clinic owners, neonatologists, bioethicists, and historians. Authors address the motivations that lead them to offer abortion care, discuss how anti-abortion regulations have made it increasingly difficult to offer feminist-inspired services, and ponder the ethical frameworks supporting abortion care and fetal research. 

JOHANNA SCHOEN is a professor of history at Rutgers University-New Brunswick in New Jersey. She is the author of Choice and Coercion: Birth Control, Sterilization, and Abortion in Public Health and Welfare, and Abortion after Roe.
