Abortion Regimes by Kerry A. Petersen is a rigorous academic work situated at the crossroads of law, medicine, and social policy. Published as part of the Medico Legal Series, it presents a comparative analysis of the legal frameworks governing abortion across multiple jurisdictions, scrutinising how legislation, judicial interpretation, and medical authority combine to shape — and often restrict — reproductive rights. Petersen argues with precision and clarity that abortion law is never a neutral instrument, but rather a regime of power that reflects deep-seated social, religious, and political values. Drawing on extensive legal and sociological research, the work details how different nations construct and enforce their abortion policies, offering a critical lens through which scholars, practitioners, and policymakers can assess the consequences of these regimes for women and healthcare providers alike.
