The debate on abortion has tended to avoid the psychological
significance of an unwanted pregnancy, dominated instead by the
strong emotions the subject excites. In this book Eva Pattis Zoja
examines the thoughts and feelings that surround the decision to
end a pregnancy, through the dreams, diary entries and reports of
the women themselves.
"Abortion" proposes the controversial thesis that although
contraception is so readily available that the occurrence of
unwanted pregnancy should become nil, abortion has now become a
rite of passage in womanhood. While acknowledging the painful
nature of the subject, the author suggests that this decision to
abort as a way to development is one beyond the explanation of
modern, enlightened rationalism.
