Abortion

by Norah Piehl (Editor)

Behind policy debate over welfare reform, AIDS funding and hate crime laws are people - people struggling with poverty, illness and discrimination. Illuminating the often-neglected human side of society's pressing problems, Social Issues Firsthand is a must-have series containing personal realities that broaden and balance readers' exposure to current social issues, such as homosexuality, poverty and suicide. Each anthology in the series presents a diverse collection of personal narratives written by individuals with first-hand experience in the topic being discussed, either as a participant, a witness or an involved professional. Terrorism, for example, includes the perspectives of terrorists, victims, families of victims and emergency workers.

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a book compiling articles on abortion from different sources, and the selection was really good. Lots of really compelling articles here. Lots of stuff from both the prolife and prochoice perspective and the material really makes you think about aspects of abortion that you may not have considered.
