Teaching about abortion

Abstract

Explores the complex feelings which can surround the subject of abortion and the difficulty some teachers may experience in trying to reconcile their personal beliefs with their professional responsibilities. Gives reasons for including abortion in the school curriculum rather than relying on parents/carers to cover the subject at home. Looks at how the subject of abortion can fit into different areas of the curriculum. Provides a classroom exercise which examines some of the influences which can affect a person′s attitude towards abortion.
