Detrimental Effects of Abortion: An Annotated Bibliography and its two supplements, edited by Thomas W. Strahan, laid the foundation for the largest detailed bibliography of literature related to abortion's effects on women, men, their children and society.

The entire substance of these these works, plus additional material contributed by a number of other editors, are now available on line through this, the Thomas W. Strahan Memorial Library, which is maintained as a major part of this wiki which is maintained and operated by the Elliot Institute.

Below is a detailed index of subjects covered. At the right of each linked page is a summary index.

Tom Strahan also produced two supplements, Supplement 1 and Supplement 2, which have not yet been transferred into the main bibliography. These and other materials that have not yet been fully transferred to this main index can be found at Material to be catalogued
