      <dc:description>Between the 1960s and 1980s, a wave of abortion law reforms swept through various Western nations. The reforms aimed to clarify extant laws, protect doctors from criminal prosecution, and curtail the toll of backstreet abortions on women’s bodies and lives. They emerged out of a series of conflicts and compromises evident in the design and implementation of new abortion laws which, on the one hand, expanded the parameters for legal abortion, but on the other, criminalized abortions that did not fall within them. Despite divergent historical, political and medical contexts, a transnational comparative analysis of abortion law reform efforts in Britain, Canada, and Spain in this period highlights the conflicts and compromises each experienced, the similarities and dissimilarities in legislation, and the impact of that legislation on medical professionals, abortion providers, and women seeking legal abortion services.</dc:description>
