Description

Winter has chosen 500 books, articles, and audiovisuals for this highly selective bibliography that emphasizes psychological and social aspects of elective abortion, although clinical technologies are also included. Items are chosen because they are classics in the field or represent specific points of view. . . . Because of its balance and guidance regarding emotional attitudes, and since no substantial annotated bibliographies devoted to abortion have appeared in recent years, the bibliography will be valuable to general readers and undergraduates. Choice

This bibliography provides citations for five hundred classic or representative works on the subject of induced abortion. All of the articles, books, and films have been carefully evaluated and annotated. A broad subject approach affords quick and easy access to needed information, while the index offers more specialized access. Winter's introduction reviews changing attitudes toward abortion as reflected in the literature over more than a decade.
