Abstract
As an anthropologist, mine is an ethnographic study of the pregnancy advisory centres of two different private abortion providers, concentrating on the factors that impact on the decision-making of their clients. An important issue that has emerged from the research is the significance of the current abortion law in Britain. This law regulates women’s access to abortion and is based on a set of assumptions about the reasons why a woman requests an abortion and the circumstances in which unplanned or unwanted pregnancy occurs. In this chapter I argue that the ideas embedded in the abortion law appear not to be in tune with reality for women seeking abortion, and thus it is not woman-centred in its approach.
