"Why Not? A Book for Every Woman" by Horatio Robinson Storer is a medical essay written in the mid-19th century, specifically in the context of late 1860s America. This influential work addresses the serious issue of induced abortion, highlighting its moral implications and dangers to women's health. Storer employs a thorough, scholarly approach to advocate for a change in societal attitudes toward abortion and encourages women to recognize the sanctity of fetal life and the potential ramifications of forced miscarriages. In this essay, Storer argues against the criminality and health risks associated with induced abortion. Through detailed explanations, he lays out the physical dangers that abortions inflict upon women, providing statistical evidence supporting his claims. He discusses the psychological consequences that the act brings upon women, including guilt, remorse, and possible insanity. Additionally, Storer emphasizes the importance of educating women about their reproductive health and the significance of childbirth in maintaining their well-being. His aim is to spur a shift in societal views, urging women to regard pregnancy as a natural and vital part of their lives rather than a burden. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
