Summary

"Anne Hendershott, a sociologist, offers a penetrating analysis of the most divisive issue in domestic politics today: abortion. Unlike many commentators who approach this issue with the tired Marxist rhetoric of race, class, and gender, Hendershott shows that the controversy surrounding abortion is primarily a reflection of deeply held and often incompatible moral commitments, which is why abortion disputes are not easily resolvable in the courts."--BOOK JACKET.
