About the Course

Despite major gains in sexual and reproductive health and gender equity worldwide, abortion remains a topic rife with misinformation, disinformation and influenced by non-evidence-based policies. This introductory public health course provides accessible and foundational knowledge on the topic of abortion in the context of a changing reproductive health landscape. Highlighting expertise from Emory University researchers and community partners, this course provides an introduction to abortion from public health, medical, policy, social, and human rights perspectives for general audiences. Students will benefit from diverse learning opportunities through lectures, case studies, and self-reflection activities. Students will be introduced to several frames for thinking about abortion including those of reproductive justice, reproductive rights, reproductive health, life course, and health equity. By the end of the course, students will be able to examine their belief systems related to abortion and to identify and critique common misunderstandings related to abortion. Furthermore, students will explore the connection between social inequities and abortion to contextualize the future of abortion access in the rapidly changing present-day landscape....

It as given me the broad knowledge on abortion, and how to approach other women with a free mind on abortion care.

Completely lacking in terms of representing even a hint of the ethical and moral implications. Utterly clinical, humanist and ultra progressive. Abortion is represented as a mere health care procedure under the guise of human rights. The aborted fetus is not even referred to. It renders the fetus as no more or less important than having a wort removed. Shameful.
