Women's International Abortion Rights

For the next portion of our presentation, I thought it would be interesting to examine abortion law throughout the world. We know that it has been and will continue to be a controversial issue in the United States, but I am really interested in finding out how abortion is dealt with in other countries, both modern and third-world countries. The concept of abortion and having control over one's body is a very important issue in a woman's life. In America, Roe v. Wade in 1973 delcared abortion legal, but I still have very little knowledge on abortion rights in other countries. For my presentation, I will be focusing on abortion rights of women in select countries, which will represent a class of countries who have similar rights. I hope to discuss countries with no rights, those with little rights, those with medium rights, and those will full rights. It will be interesting to find which class of country falls into each category.
