The groundbreaking bpas conference The Future of Abortion:
Controversies and Care brought together clinicians, academics,
policymakers and advocates from the UK, Europe and the USA
for a discussion about all aspects of abortion provision. Taking
place during a critical Parliamentary debate about the UK
abortion law, the conference generated great excitement and
presented a number of important research findings and policy
suggestions.In order to maximise the strides made by The Future of
Abortion conference in taking forward an international, interdisciplinary
discussion, Abortion Review is producing a series of
special editions in which we have published edited transcripts
of the presentations. In this third edition, Abortion and Clinical
Practice, the presentations examine developments in abortion
research and practice, and what these might indicate for the
kind of abortion service that should be provided.
