While the disagreements on abortion date to the beginning of our
country, most of its public debate has taken place during the 20th
century. Herring examines the issue from the debate's origin to its
current state and expected future. Narrative chapters include
discussions of the pro and con arguments associated with abortion,
featuring quotes from doctors, politicians, religious figures, and
ordinary people. First in the new Historical Guides to
Controversial Issues in America series, this volume studies the
major events and periods in the development of the abortion debate
throughout its history. Students will find a nonpartisan approach
to landmark cases, acts and amendments, and Pro-Life and Pro-Choice
advocates. A list of Pro-Life/Choice Web sites and other electronic
resources for further research is included.
