RU486: Misconceptions, Myths and Morals Paperback – July 1 2013

"An important contribution to the debate surrounding RU 486, a debate which the tragedies of history—those associated with other reproductive technologies—tell us, we have every need to involve ourselves in, to acquaint ourselves with and above all, to have our say in."  —Australian Women's Book Review

"One of the most important studies on abortion to be published in recent years."  —Care Review

"An excellent case study for medical, health, and women's studies practitioners and students."  —Australian Scholarly Newsletter

"This is an eminently readable and thought-provoking book. The authors' concern for the rights and welfare of women is evident throughout. . . . RU 486: Misconceptions, Myths and Morals was published in 1991, and it still provides the most up-to-date, independent analysis of information available to us. As such, it is an invaluable knowledge base from which to evaluate the information and publicity generated by the Australian trials."  —Women's Library Newsletter
