{"product_id":"lawless-martha-paynter-9781773637501","title":"Lawless: Abortion Under Complete Decriminalization","description":"\u003cp\u003eCanada is the only country with complete decriminalization of abortion: no gestational duration limitations, no parental consent obligations, and no waiting periods. In recent years, other countries (New Zealand, Colombia, Uruguay, Mexico) have made strides toward this, while the United States has notoriously lost ground. Amidst the tumult, nurse and scholar Martha Paynter uses historical context and contemporary issues to explain why experts advocate against laws governing abortion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDespite decriminalization, Canadian federal and provincial legislation and regulations about health funding, delivery, and human rights all shape how abortion care is delivered. Barriers persist in uneven access, unclear information, and belief-based denial of care. In accessible plain language from the expansive perspective of a clinician, researcher and activist, Paynter describes abortion policy, practice and experience and discusses how to resolve challenges that continue more than three decades after Canada became the world's most legally progressive jurisdiction for abortion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martha Paynter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1773637509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773637501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernwood Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Martha Paynter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962678038783,"sku":"9781773637501","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_712de7f5-6603-4b2d-bbf1-e881fcf8f2b5.jpg?v=1750652193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lawless-martha-paynter-9781773637501","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
