About this item

Product details

Examining the changing pluralities of contemporary abortion debate in Britain, this innovative and important book shows why it is necessary to move beyond an understanding of abortion politics as characterised in binary terms by 'pro-choice' versus 'pro-life'.

Amery traces the evolution of political and parliamentary discourses from the passage of the Abortion Act in the 1960s to the present day, and argues that the current provision of abortion in Britain rests on assumptions about medical authority over women's reproductive decision-making which are unsustainable.

She explores new arguments around sex-selective abortion, disability rights, pre-abortion counselling and the push for decriminalization, and radically reconceptualizes the debate to account for these new battlegrounds in abortion politics.

Tracing the evolution of political discourse on abortion from the 1960s to today, this interdisciplinary book argues that in order to understand the changing pluralities of contemporary abortion debate, it is necessary to move beyond an understanding of abortion politics as characterized by pro-choice and pro-life.

Title

Beyond Pro-life and Pro-choice : The Changing Politics of Abortion in Britain

Issue

The book argues that the current understanding of abortion politics in Britain as a binary 'pro-choice' versus 'pro-life' debate is an oversimplification. It suggests that the debate is more nuanced and involves various other factors such as sex-selective abortion, disability rights, pre-abortion counseling, and the push for decriminalization. The book also points out a common misunderstanding that the 1967 Abortion Act granted women the right to abortion, when in reality, doctors, not women, are the arbiters of abortion access.
