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.
