"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.
