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 aspectsabortion.christian right.christianity.family life.feminism.feminist theory.gender roles.gender studies.gender.individual rights.maternity.modern family.motherhood.nonfiction.parenting.politics and morality.pro choice.pro life.reproductive justice.reproductive politics.reproductive rights.roe v wade.sex positive.sexual behavior.sexual health.sexuality.social commentary.social issues.sociology.technology.women s studies.womens health.womens issues.womens rights.AbortionAbortionPolitical aspectsPro-life movementMotherhoodMoral and ethical aspects.363.4/6/0973Luker Kristin1561201MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778083003321Abortion and the politics of motherhood3827721UNINA
