Introduction -- The anthropological dimensions of abortion -- The two constraints on engendering -- Understandings -- The parental project -- Constructing foetal categories -- The justification of abortion -- The experience of abortion -- Conclusion : forgetting abortion.
"Abortion is a contentious issue in social life but it has rarely been subjected to careful scrutiny in the social sciences. While the legalization of abortion has brought it into the public domain, it still remains a sensitive topic in many cultures, often hidden from view and rarely spoken about, consigned to a shadowy existence."--Page [4] of cover.
