Responsibility, Complexity, and Abortion: Toward a New Image of
Ethical Thought draws from feminist theory, post-structuralist
theory, and complexity theory to develop a new set of ethical
concepts for broaching the thinking challenges that attend the
experience of unwanted pregnancy. Author Karen Houle does not only
argue for these concepts; she enacts a method for working with
them, a method that brackets the tendency to take positions and to
think that position-taking is what ethical analysis involves. This
book thus provides concrete evidence of a theoretically-grounded,
compassionate way that people in all walks of life, academic or
otherwise, could come to a better understanding of, and more
complex relationship to, difficult ethical issues. On the one hand,
this is a meta-ethical book about how people can conceive and
communicate moral ideas in ways that are more constructive than
position-taking; on the other hand, it is also a book about
abortion. It testifies from a first-person female perspective about
the life-long complexity that attends fertility, sexuality and
reproduction. But it does not do so in order to ratify abortion as
a woman's issue or a private matter or as feminist work. Rather,
its aim is to excavate the ethical richness of the situation of
unwanted pregnancy showing that it connects to everyone, affects
everyone, and thus gives everyone something unique and new to
think.
