Abortion Freedom

A Worldwide Movement

About this book

First published in 1984, Abortion Freedom explains the main reasons for widespread international liberalisation of abortion laws. Colin Francome points out that the birth control movement had its roots in a concern with overpopulation and that this is still a crucial issue today. A major change, however, is that whereas in the early days the socialists were often opposed to birth control they are now amongst the keenest supporters of the woman's right to choose. The author pays particular attention to the debates in the United States, France and Italy. It is aimed primarily at students of politics, sociology and law but it has a much wider appeal to the general public as a readable explanation of the ideas and strategies of the opposing forces involved.
