Excellent summary - very balanced and informative. It was well worth my time to read it and ponder the issues from multiple viewpoints
This book provides a history of abortion rights and legislation in America, from colonial times to the mid 1990s, when it was written. It also discusses the status of abortion in other cultures. Although the author's pro-choice bias shows at times, it is a good look at the issue from the standpoint of constitutional law as well as history. I feel I learned a lot about abortion politics from reading this book.
