Distinctive in its use of two disciplinary lenses-sociology and
political science-Abortion in the United States provides a balanced
scholarly analysis of the most salient issues in the
pro-life/pro-choice debate. According to the CDC, more than 660,000
legal abortions were performed in the United States in 2013, yet
despite these numbers, or perhaps because of them, the abortion war
rages on in state legislatures, in Congress, and in court rooms.
This work offers an eye-opening look at the enduring cultural clash
between reproductive rights activists, who have argued that access
to safe, legal abortion is critical for ensuring women's equality,
and impassioned activists seeking to overturn Roe v. Wade, who
fervently believe that abortion is unethical. Written for high
school and college students as well as for general audiences
seeking to better understand opposing viewpoints, it gives readers
essential background information and addresses persistent questions
regarding the abortion debate. The new Perspectives chapter
features the compelling voices of those engaged in the front lines
of this battle alongside those of scholars from a range of
disciplinary perspectives. Notable activists and leading advocacy
groups are profiled, followed by the latest data on abortion rates
and public opinion. Carefully curated documents and recommended
news outlets, websites, documentaries, and academic readings invite
continued exploration. Traces the continually shifting landscape of
public opinion, spotlighting millennial and male perspectives and
the factors that shape abortion beliefs Offers an intersectional
analysis of restricted access to abortion, paying particular
attention to the sociodemographic characteristics of women who have
abortions and the lived experiences of making pregnancy decisions
amidst the political controversy Accentuates the role that
institutions including schools, pharmacies, the military, prisons,
and immigration detention facilities play in determining women's
reproductive decisions Features an analysis of
movement-countermovement dynamics and relies on scientific evidence
to investigate contested claims over emergency contraception,
late-term abortions, and the safety of the abortion procedure and
its psychological outcomes
