Abortion Chronology Abortion History—Chronology of Events Abortion History—Chronology of Events Author/Source Notes: • This chronology was compiled by the Pro-Choice Action Network in British Columbia, ending in mid-April 2007. • Data collection for U.S. news ended in October 2006. Data for BC and Canada were combined into one column as of Jan 2000. • The accuracy and completeness of all entries is not guaranteed, but Pro-CAN strived to maintain a high level of accuracy. Uncertain dates or facts are indicated with a question mark. Most entries were sourced directly from mainstream newspapers and magazines. Others were sourced from books, anti- choice publications, pro-choice newsletters, other alternative publications, websites of established pro-choice groups, and to a lesser extent, firsthand reports or records from clinics, providers, and activists. Many entries had multiple sources. • Click on the Year below to go to the beginning of that year. pre-1960 • 1960’s • 1970 • 1971 • 1972 • 1973 • 1974 • 1975 • 1976 • 1977 • 1978 • 1979 • 1980 • 1981 • 1982 • 1983 • 1984 • 1985 • 1986 • 1987 • 1988 1989 • 1990 • 1991 • 1992 • 1993 • 1994 • 1995 • 1996 • 1997 • 1998 • 1999 • 2000 • 2001 • 2002 • 2003 • 2004 • 2005 • 2006 • 2007 Date British Columbia Canada United States pre-1960 • 1923, Jul 2 - Margaret Sanger speaks in • 1810 - New Brunswick passes a law modelled on Lord • 1821 - Connecticut Episcopal minister charged with favour of contraception at the Women's Ellenborough's Act (in England) prohibiting abortion, providing drug to his mistress for abortion; he is Building on Thurlow Street in Vancouver. though not by the pregnant woman herself. sentenced to 2 years in Newgate Prison.

  • Forced Abortion in China PRI Staff / November 1, 2001
    UNFPA Whitewash: Forced Abortion in China PRI Staff / November 1, 2001 Population Research Institute (PRI) has obtained a copy of a letter sent from the Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, to the US Secretary of State, Colin L. Powell. The letter, dated 19 November 2001, falsely claims that information presented by PRI to members of the US Congress regarding UNFPA-supported abuses in China is untrue.1 Visit to China PRI investigators this September visited a county in Southern China where UNFPA claims coercion does not exist. In Sihui county, Guangdong province, they obtained testimony from victims of a UNFPA-funded family planning program who had suffered forced abortion, forced sterilization and destruction of homes and property at the hands of local officials. They presented this evidence at an October 17 hearing of the House International Relations Committee, along with further evidence linking these abuses to the UNFPA. In their opinion, based on interviews with two dozen women, coercion in Sihui county is as bad today as it ever has been. The UNFPA sought to counter PRI’s on-the-ground investigation of UNFPA-funded family planning programs by carrying out its own in-house review. A delegation of UNFPA employees and associates was hastily organized and sent to China in October. The seven- and-a-half page “mission report” produced by that delegation describes visits with Chinese officials in Beijing, Guangzhou, Sihui county, and Hubei Province, all of whom — not surprisingly — denied

Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing of Contents is published by the Office of the University of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing pUblic awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum of feminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to a journal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the limitations of the new copyright law With regard to photocopying of copyrighted materials.) Table ofcontents pages from current issues ofmajor feministjournals are reproduced in each issue ofFeminist Periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As pUblication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. The annotated listing provides the following information on each journal: 1. Year of first publication. 2. Frequency of pUblication. 3. U.S. subscription price(s). 4. Subscription address. 5.
