About This Item
Los Angeles, CA: University of California Press, 1985. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. In this important study of the abortion controversy in the United States, Kristin Luker examines the issues, people, and beliefs on both sides of the abortion conflict. 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. "One of the most important sociology books of the decade. In addressing crucial public policy issues in an engrossing and accessible manner, she has attracted an attentive audience that extends far beyond academic sociology." 324 pages. Some rubbing on top & bottom & edges of spine and some places on outside edges. Front cover bottom right corner has a 1/2" crease across it. Page number and Degler on Ffep. Underlining and marks throughout book..
