Beschreibungen/Notizen
Receiving two books with such similar titles, invoking the same epoch-making decision of the Supreme Court inscribing the constitutional right to abortion in the United States, gave me some concern that I was going to be reading the same story twice. In fact, these two works are important complementary studies that take entirely different perspectives, and while one encounters the same organizations, the same individuals, and many of the same crisis points, the emphasis is very different. Both books open up the intricacies and complexities of a contested subject in an era during which it has often been depicted as a simplistic binary struggle between the advocates of reproductive rights and women's bodily autonomy and the defenders of the right to life of the unborn fetus.
