  • Description

    Jane Hodgson reflects on her career as a physician and abortion practitioner before abortion was legal, and Alison Jaggar explores the changing theoretical underpinnings of abortion rights activism. Other essays stress the need to redefine the reproductive rights movement so that race and class as well as gender considerations are at its core and raise questions regarding abortion rights for poor women and women of color. The essays clarify why so many women consider abortion crucial to their lives and why opposition to abortion rights has become so violent today. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
