Published in 1999, A Clinician's Guide to Medical and Surgical Abortion was the first clinical reference on abortion practice to be published in the U.S. in more than 15 years. The first edition of this invaluable resource has sold out and is now out of print. We are working to bring you a new, updated textbook.
In the interim you may view, search, and print seven chapters on our website.
