Abstract
One undertakes a study of the law of abortion with a sense of irony. Abortion is very personal to the woman considering it. Laws on abortion, however, and studying the laws of abortion, separate the act and the choice from their very bases in each woman's experience. With this abstraction, each abortion becomes either legal or illegal, depending upon the law of the country where the woman lives, and becomes an instrument of a state's demographic policies, or its health policies, or its policies on crime, or its policies on women's rights. A note on the law of abortion in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.) and the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.) cannot completely resolve this disparity between personal reality and abstract law and policy. It must analyze the laws on abortion, with legal criteria, even while undertaking to determine how those laws affect women personally.'
