Previous Conference - From ethics to care: exploring the future of abortion 

Today, debates about abortion are carried out in two distinct frameworks: as an ethical or political issue, and as a matter of public health. Abortion is seen as both a moral matter on which society should take a view, and as a personal, practical solution to an individual woman's unwanted pregnancy. This conference aimed to bring the two discussions into one arena.

This ground breaking two-day conference marked the 40^th anniversary of bpas. The event took place in the midst of major Parliamentary debate about amending British abortion law, and brought together doctors, nurses, NHS commissioners, politicians, philosophers, journalists, campaigners and abortion providers from across Europe and the USA. Presentations were made by leading international and UK experts in abortion and sexual health services to view a summary of these presentations please visit
