"This diverse collection illuminates the innovative thinking of
national, regional, and international court decisions on the
appropriateness of abortion regulation. It will serve as an
important reference for policy makers, advocates, and adjudicators
from around the world for years to come."—Louise Arbour, Former
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
"This collection shows the complexity of constitutional regime
borrowing and grafting in this fast-moving area of law, with new
regulatory modes of abortion unimaginable a few decades ago."—Sujit
Choudhry, Dean, School of Law, University of California,
Berkeley
"By transcending languages and borders, the authors introduce new
ways of viewing abortion policy, whether in the European move
toward a less punitive, more family-supportive approach, or the
promising reforms in Latin America, or the global recognition of
clearly defined access to services as essential to realizing
rights. Along with its careful attention to how we frame our
stories, this collection is essential reading for scholar and
activist alike."—R. Alta Charo, University of Wisconsin Law School
