The issue of abortion forces a confrontation with the effects of
poverty and economic inequalities, local moral worlds, and the
cultural and social perceptions of the female body, gender, and
reproduction. Based on extensive original field research, this
provocative collection presents case studies from Thailand,
Cambodia, Burma, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and India. It
includes powerful insight into the conditions and hard choices
faced by women and the circumstances surrounding unplanned
pregnancies. It explores the connections among poverty, violence,
barriers to access, and the politics and strategies involved in
abortion law reform. The contributors analyze these issues within
the broader conflicts surrounding women's status, gender roles,
religion, nationalism and modernity, as well as the global politics
of reproductive health.
