Papers and presentations given at events organised by
Pro-Choice Forum
are
available on Pro-Choice Forum website at
www.prochoiceforum.org.uk In
addition, the site has space for reviews (books or
events), space to
advertise forthcoming events (please let me know of
any events you
would
like to advertise there) and space for comment about
relevant issues.
Pro-Choice Forum hopes the site will be used as a
research resource,
but
that it can also provide a mechanism for those with a
particular
research
interest in abortion issues to communicate their ideas
and views to
others.
To this end, if you have reviews or commentaries for
the site, please
mail
them to me and they can be added to it.
