Contested Lives: The Abortion Debate in an American Community

Incredible accrual of interviews and information for a profile of a small town. Paints a thorough picture of how abortion colored the inter-workings of a rural, midwestern community.

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.
