Abortion and Woman's Choice: The State, Sexuality and Reproductive Freedom

By Rosalind Pollack Petchesky

Book Overview

"The best book I have read on the politics of reproduction. It raises complex theoretical and strategic questions, in a clear and accessible way, and represents an important breakthrough in feminist thinking."
- Leslie Doyal, author of What Makes Women Sick

This prize-winning study is the definitive work on the politics of abortion and fertility. Rosalind Pollack Petchesky provides overwhelming evidence against the anti-abortion forces and in the process takes up issues of teenage sexuality, the politics of eugenics, and women's relationship to medical technology. The book's continuing relevance is a tribute to the author and a sad indictment of contemporary politics.
