Tracing the evolution of political and parliamentary discourses on
abortion in Britain from the passage of the Abortion Act in the
1960s to the present day, this interdisciplinary book argues that
to understand the changing pluralities of the abortion debate it is
necessary to move beyond an understanding of abortion politics as
characterised by ‘pro-choice’ versus ‘pro-life’.
Examining the changing pluralities of contemporary abortion debate
in Britain, this innovative and important book shows why it is
necessary to move beyond an understanding of abortion politics as
characterised in binary terms by 'pro-choice' versus 'pro-life'.
Amery traces the evolution of political and parliamentary
discourses from the passage of the Abortion Act in the 1960s to the
present day, and argues that the current provision of abortion in
Britain rests on assumptions about medical authority over women's
reproductive decision-making which are unsustainable. She explores
new arguments around sex-selective abortion, disability rights,
pre-abortion counselling and the push for decriminalization, and
radically reconceptualizes the debate to account for these new
battlegrounds in abortion politics.
