Philadelphia, PA-NJ (1888PressRelease)
January 19, 2008 - Abortion is one of the most controversial issues in the United States. Debates on whether it should be legalized or not has covered a long span of time and uncovered several other arguments that added complexity to the matter. A recent survey conducted by the Guttmacher Institute, however, indicates that incidences of abortion in the US have decreased.
According to their findings, the abortion rate in America dropped to 19.4 abortions per 1,000 women, ages of 15 to 44. This rate, the study concludes, is the lowest level since 1974.
The researchers gave several theories on the decrease of abortions in the country. The possible reasons stated for the trend are the easy access to contraception, decrease of abortion clinics, increase of sex education, and awareness of the horrors of abortion.
Many other reasons may have brought about the decline of abortion cases. Some are found in the book “One Life: How the U.S. Supreme Court Deliberately Distorted the History, Science and Law of Abortion” where author William M. Connolly thoroughly cuts through the issues and arguments surrounding abortion.
This Xlibris release scrutinizes the controversy that is abortion by digging deep into its history, the laws peripheral and pertaining to abortion, and its moral and legal implications. One Life also presents an exposition of the fallacies of celebrated Roe v. Wade case, which had a lasting impact on state and federal abortion laws.
Connolly makes the thesis of his self-published book a well-rounded one by offering several varied viewpoints on the abortion issue. The views and opinions of the Catholic Church and pro-choice proponents are all thrown in for a more balanced understanding of the controversy of abortion.
One Life: How the U.S. Supreme Court Deliberately Distorted the History, Science and Law of Abortion is a comprehensive tome of the abortion issue and the role played by the US Supreme Court in molding America’s concept of abortion. This book is available on the Amazon and Xlibris online bookstores.
