Abortion Re-Examined Not and Easy Choice: A Feminist Re-Examines Abortion
McDonnell, Kathleen Publisher: The Women's Press Resource Type: Book
Abstract: McDonnell's book tackles many questions that pro-choice feminists have not asked themselves. She goes beyond one dimensional reasoning that has you either pro-woman or pro-fetus. She examines the ethics of abortion-women experience, post abortion grief, and the moral aspects of abortion, the issue of self versus other, and the tradition that women must put the needs of others first. She raises questions about artfiicial reproduction and how the technological advances have made the issue increasingly complex. She makes a case for womens' control over all aspects of our bodies in birth, abortion and contraception. She suggests having women-run health centres where women can make informed decisions in a supportive atmosphere.
