We announce publication of the Abortion Worldwide Report in cooperation with the Global Life Campaign.

It will serve as an information resource for international pro-life efforts, as well as a robust compilation of available worldwide abortion statistics.

Editors and authors: Thomas W. Jacobson and Wm. Robert Johnston
Additional contributing author: Nicholas Eberstadt
