Sadly no less relevant today than when it was first published, this
prize-winning study is the definitive text on the politics of
abortion and fertility. Drawing on a wealth of material, Petchesky
provides overwhelming evidence against the anti-abortion forces and
also takes up issues of teenage sexuality, the politics of
eugenics, and women's relationship to medical technology. Petchesky
deftly weaves together the history of the practice of abortion and
state policies to contain it; the social, economic, and cultural
conditions under which women utilize it; and the legal, moral, and
political battles that surround it.
