Ann Furedi
author, The Moral Case for Abortion; former chief executive, BPAS

Ann Furedi is the author of The Moral Case for Abortion. The second edition is due out early next year with additional chapters including one on autonomy and conscience. Until this year, Ann ran the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (bpas), which provides about half of all abortions in Britain, a position she held for almost two decades.

Ann has now stepped back from services and advocacy to indulge in some serious study. She recently completed a masters degree in philosophy and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Science by Kent University for her work on abortion law and ethics.
