Dieses Buch bietet eine umfassende und kontroverse Analyse des Aborts, indem es ihn nicht nur als medizinischen Eingriff, sondern auch als ethisches, psychologisches und sozialpolitisches Dilemma behandelt. Das Werk präsentiert eine ausgewogene Perspektive, die technisches Wissen und kritische bioethische Analyse über die Auswirkungen des Aborts auf die Gesundheit von Frauen integriert.

Wards of the State by journalist and author Claudia Rowe widens an eye-opening case from a true-crime lens to an exploration of the foster care-to-prison pipeline. The system is broken—hundreds of thousands of children every year leave America’s $30 billion dollar foster care system and enter its prisons, where in some cases, 75 percent of inmates are former foster kids. Through the stories of eight former foster kids, Rowe illustrates exactly where, when, and how the system is failing the children that it parents.

In late 2019, Dennis Oya's persistent cough was just the beginning of a harrowing tale of neglect and systemic failure in a Washington prison. Diagnosed eighteen months later with tuberculosis (TB), Oya's case sparked one of the largest prison TB outbreaks in decades, affecting over 3,000 contacts. This outbreak, and others like it, exposes the glaring weaknesses in prison healthcare systems. In Outbreak Behind Bars, Homer Venters reveals the grim realities of how communicable diseases thrive in the overcrowded, unsanitary conditions of correctional facilities.
