Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary on 27th April 2018 of the Abortion Act 1967 coming into effect in Britain, Abortion Matters seeks to provide clear, convincing answers to the most fundamental questions relating to abortion, not least: why abortion is always wrong, and how women are also victimised by abortion. Why is abortion still such an issue? What is at the heart of the debate? And why is staying neutral not an option? Abortion Matters. Get the facts. Abortion is back in the news, with moves to decriminalise abortion entirely, ban vigils outside abortion clinics and eviscerate rights of conscientious objection receiving wide coverage. Attempts to 'normalise' abortion have done little to make the fractious debate over the issue go away. Abortion Matters explains just why abortion is the issue it is and why we can’t just 'agree to disagree'. It lays out carefully and accessibly what abortion involves, the history of its legalisation and the arguments made both in favour and against. If you think abortion matters, you will need to read this powerful book and become equipped for the debates ahead. Dr Anthony McCarthy is an ethicist based in London at the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, having previously held the post of Research Fellow at the Anscombe Bioethics Centre in Oxford. He holds degrees in Philosophy from King's College London, University College London, and the University of Surrey, and lectures in moral philosophy both in the UK and internationally, including as a visiting lecturer at the International Theological Institute in Trumau, Austria. “This book will provide those who are committed to protecting unborn life with a unique knowledge of the arguments supporting this position. The philosophical, scientific and human rights issues raised by abortion are highlighted and cogently demonstrate that the arc of history is on the side of life”. Patricia Casey, Professor of Psychiatry, University College Dublin.

This is a very interesting, well written book. Informative regarding what actually happens in an abortion, and significant well reasoned reasons why abortion is wrong. The author also deals with the common arguments in favour of abortion. Highly recommended.

An uncomfortable but necessary and urgent book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2018

Verified Purchase

A clear, informative and complete book, full of important facts and figures to open the eyes of people ( like myself) that have a very vague idea about this issue. Reading these words black on white makes the reader deeply uncomfortable and conveys a sense of urgency and a need for a stand: after you read this you will not be able to stand on the sides any longer, you will want to take a stand in this issue that is now mor expressing then ever.
