Summary

Presents a discussion on abortion among service professionals, focusing more on the ethical issue of allowing abortions to be legal rather than on the moral question of whether abortion is "right or wrong." Relates the personal encounters that many professionals, including a doctor, legislator, theologian, priest, rabbi, nun, teacher, counselor, women's organizer, and nurse, have had with the abortion issue. Emphasizes that the heart of the abortion question lies in the many deaths that result from women seeking illegal and unsafe abortions, yet stresses that when abortions are legal each individual faced with the abortion decision should make a moral as well as a practical choice.
