When access to that service is denied or restricted, women are compelled to carry unwanted pregnancies to term, seek backstreet abortionists, attempt self-induced abortions, or even travel to less restrictive states, provinces, and countries to receive care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbortion across Borders\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on travel across domestic and international boundaries to terminate a pregnancy. Christabelle Sethna and Gayle Davis have gathered a cadre of authors to examine how restrictive policies force women to move both within and across national borders in order to reach abortion providers, often at great expense, over long distances and with significant safety risks. Taking historical and contemporary perspectives, contributors examine the situation in regions that include Texas, Prince Edward Island, Ireland, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Eastern Europe. Throughout, they take a feminist intersectional approach to transnational travel and access to abortion services that is sensitive to inequalities of gender, race, and class in reproductive health care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis multidisciplinary volume raises challenging logistical, legal, and ethical questions while exploring the gendered aspects of medical tourism. A noticeable rollback of reproductive rights and renewed attention to border security in many parts of the world will make \u003ci\u003eAbortion across Borders\u003c\/i\u003e of timely interest to scholars of gender and women's studies, health, medicine, law, mobility studies, and reproductive justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Barbara Baird, Niklas Barke, Anna Bogic, Hayley Brown, Lori A.
