Hard Choices, Lost Voices

the long version

"Something is seriously wrong with our society's approach to the problem of abortion," Donald Judges writes. Investigating the struggle over abortion rights, he found a shocking lack of information on both sides of the issue as well as an ignorance of those matters that really affect a woman's decision. In this thorough, balanced, and fair minded view of the controversy, Mr. Judges provides clear and pertinent information on the sociological, medical, historical, and legal aspects of abortion, with equal attention to the arguments of pro-life and pro-choice forces. His fresh approach would "express what really bothers people about abortion." Hard Choices, Lost Voices, with its evenhanded perspective on the major issues in the abortion debate, its just treatment of the opposing positions, and its suggestions for a new path toward resolution, is the outstanding book on the subject - for the committed, the concerned, and the undecided.
