Beginning with the introduction of abortion law in the nineteenth
century, this reader includes important documents from nearly two
hundred years of debate over abortion. These legal briefs, oral
arguments, court opinions, newspaper reports, opinion pieces, and
contemporary essays are introduced with headnotes that place them
in historical context. Chapters cover the birth control movement,
changes in abortion law in the 1960s, Roe v. Wade, the Hyde
Amendment and the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, state
and federal regulation of abortion practices, and the freedom of
speech cases surrounding anti-abortion clinic protests. The first
section of each chapter sets the stage and explains the choice of
documents. This rich, balanced collection is an indispensable
reference tool for the study of one of the most passionate debates
in American history. It brings together the writings of doctors,
lawyers, scientists, philosophers, elected officials, judges, and
scholars as few other legal readers do, and it is essential reading
for those engaged in the ongoing debate about abortion law in the
United States.
