"This volume introduces students to the history of cultural and theological responses
to abortion as background for understanding a diversity of ethical positions in contemporary
Christian, Jewish, and Muslim writings. Politicized debates about abortion are often
presented in terms of a binary rhetoric of prolife versus prochoice; however, this
collection of essays shows how that binary often breaks down when abortion is seen
from different religious perspectives and in light of the voices of women themselves.
While abortion is a global phenomenon, this volume focuses on the U.S. context. American
abortion politics and culture wars have been dominated by Christian voices; nevertheless,
Jewish and Muslim abortion ethics engage many of the same issues from different cultural
and religious perspectives. Finally, this volume presents important examples of recent
social scientific studies about the relationship of religion and abortion in the diverse
cultural, racial, and economic fabric of American society. Pedagogical features include:
- boxed text sections with primary sources - introductions to each part of the book
- questions for a discussion - key terms in bold"
