She draws data from twenty years of public documents and newspaper accounts, as well as over two hundred interviews with both pro-life and pro-choice activists. She argues that moral positions on abortion are intimately tied to views on sexual behavior, the care of children, family life, technology, and the importance of the individual.California series on social choice and political economy.AbortionUnited StatesAbortionPolitical aspectsUnited StatesPro-life movementUnited StatesMotherhoodMoral and ethical aspectsElectronic books.AbortionAbortionPolitical aspectsPro-life movementMotherhoodMoral and ethical aspects.363.4/6/0973Luker Kristin1048239MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455483803321Abortion and the politics of motherhood2476409UNINA
