The Cost of "Choice"
|
| |
|
 "We
are now more than thirty years away from the Supreme Court case
of Roe vs Wade, yet the controversy over abortion has not
diminished. Although the "pro-choice" forces
increasingly acknowledge the central claim of the "pro-life"
side--that abortion is a morally portentous act--they continue to
insist that the well-being of women is absolutely dependent on
the legal right to abortion. The twelve essays in The Cost of
"Choice," all written by women active in the public
square, dispute this claim. These authors argue that over the
last three decades, legal abortion has had harmful effects on
women-- socially, medically, psychologically and culturally.'"
Contributors include Mary
Ann Glendon and
Elizabeth
Fox Genovese. Jean
Bethke Elshtain writes the Preface.
