5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent, comprehensive, scholarly
By doug k on April 1, 2016
Format: Hardcover
Most books about abortion are not objective, this one is. It is a fairly comprehensive history as the title states "after Roe", with a few pages about what was happening before Roe. It is intelligent and well written. The author seems to have intended it as a pro-choice book but she writes objectively enough that pro-life people should find it fair. In fact, parts of it might even seem to be favorable to the pro-life cause. Dr. Schoen is an impressive scholar, there are 54 pages of notes, and a 14 page excellent bibliography. Abortion is an extremely important issue in our society and we need books like this to help us deal with it.

Few people on either side make very good arguments either way about what to do about abortion. This book provides us with a great deal of information and insight. In my opinion, there are three issues, moral, legal, practical. There have been about 50 million legal abortions in this country since 1973; there are now over 1 million per year, the rate has been falling. There are about 45 million abortions every year worldwide. Millions of women become pregnant who do not want to have a baby or can't afford to. The moral question -- is abortion the taking of a human life. Yes, it is preventing human life, that is what makes the issue difficult. The legal question is should it be illegal. Given how many women want to have abortions, making it illegal is simply not an option unless there are realistic alternatives. It doesn't make sense to make millions of women criminals because of their personal moral choices or to risk their health getting illegal abortions. The practical question is -- what is the alternative. Our best bet would be a massive program providing contraception and education and well organized adoption.Read more ›
