In this important study of the abortion controversy in the United States, Kristin Luker examines the issues, people, and beliefs on both sides of the abortion conflict. She draws data from twenty years of public documents and newspaper accounts, as well as over two hundred interviews with both pro-life and pro-choice activists. She argues that moral positions on abortion are intimately tied to views on sexual behavior, the care of children, family life, technology, and the importance of the individual.

Industry Reviews

"One of the most important sociology books of the decade. In addressing crucial public policy issues in an engrossing and accessible manner, she has attracted an attentive audience that extends far beyond academic sociology."--Marion S. Goldman, "American Journal of Sociology"
