Abortion and Social Responsibility - Depolarizing the Debate

Klappentext Schrage argues that Roe v Wade's regulatory scheme of a six-month time span for abortion on demand polarized the public and obscured alternatives with potentially broader support. She explores the origins of that scheme, then defends an alternate one-with a time span shorter than 6 months for non-therapeutic abortions-that could win broad support needed to make legal abortion services available to all women. Zusammenfassung Includes over 40 illustrations of pro-life and pro-choice advertisements to demonstrate the nature of the debate. This work is of interest to feminists in a range of fields including philosophy, political science, women's studies, communication, and public policy.
