Ordinary Abortion

Many physicians and patients privately experience abortion as ordinary healthcare, while many public discussions of abortion treat it as extraordinary. In this lecture, Professor Watson will explore the reasons behind this public/private disjuncture, the cost of highlighting extreme cases on both sides of the issue, and the potential benefit of refocusing the public abortion discussion on the hidden majority of abortion need and the quiet majority of abortion opposition.
