Fighting to Choose - The Abortion Rights Struggle in New Zealand (Paperback, New)

More than 35 years ago, at the height of the second wave of feminism, New Zealand passed a conservative abortion law that bucked a trend in the West toward liberalization. How did this happen in a country proud of its progressive social policies, particularly its record on women's rights? And why is such a cumbersome, expensive, endlessly litigated set of statutes still on the books? In Fighting to Choose: The Abortion Rights Struggle in New Zealand, Alison McCulloch sets out to answer those questions by taking a close look at the people involved and the tactics they employed in waging what was-and continues to be-an intense and impassioned battle.
