She addresses the social circumstances that influence many women's decision to abort and considers whether we believe that there are good and bad reasons to abort. Manninen also looks at the call for post-abortion fetal grieving rituals for women who desire them and the attempt to make room in the pro-choice position for the views of prospective fathers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author spells out how the two sides demonize each other and proposes ways to find degrees of convergence between the seemingly intractable positions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46488114462871,"sku":"9780826519917","price":4599.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780826519917.jpg?v=1766336892","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pro-life-pro-choice-shared-values-in-the-abortion-debate-9780826519917","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
