I read this book in College.

It's not a definitive work of the entire debate, but does raise different sides of the argument regarding choice and abortion. I found it to be a balanced book. The author spoke to women engaged in the Choice debate from both sides of the fence one town/city. WHile this may not be the case now, the women knew eachother and eachother's organizations, and were, in some cases, very collegial. I would recommend this book quite highly.

The copy of Contested Lives was not at all in the condition I was led to believe I was buying. I had purchased this book for my daughter (a genetic counselor) for Christmas, knowing that it was most likely out of print and that I would most likely need a used copy. The book I received was highlighted and not in good order. It certainly was not so described. I did not feel I had the time to return so gave it to her anyway with my apologies.
This review is only about the book's condition, not it's content as it was a gift.
