This book comprises a history of the anti-abortion campaign in
England, focusing on the period 1966-1989, which saw the highest
concentration of anti-abortion activity during the twentieth
century. It examines the tactics deployed by campaigners in their
efforts to overturn the 1967 Abortion Act. Key themes include the
influence of religion on attitudes towards sexuality and pregnancy;
representations of women and the female body; and the varied, and
often deeply contested, attitudes towards the status of the fetus
articulated by both anti-abortion and pro-choice advocates during
the years 1966-1989.
