Re-Thinking Abortion offers an incisive and original analysis of the abortion debates, abortion legislation and of women's and men's experience of abortion.

In the past, abortion hasn't often been addressed in psychological theory. Mary Boyle finds, however, that among the law-making body (largely male) the concept of gender is central to the formulation of abortion legislation. In a detailed study of legislative debates spanning thirty years, she finds that many implicit assumptions about women and doctors underlie the content of abortion law.

By acknowledging how social policy can be so influenced, we can begin to set some constructive ways forward.

Industry Reviews

" . . a brilliant book. . . .thorough, passionate, and articulate . . . an excellent exemplar of the value of a social constructionist framework for the analysis of important social issues . . . The author's ability to examine abortion from an historical, political, and psychological perspective should prove an eye-opener . . . This is a rare achievement."
-Rhoda Unger, Ph.D.
