This book discusses abortion in Thailand where, although abortion
is illegal, between 200,000 and 300,000 abortions are performed each
year. Based on extensive original research in the field, the book
analyses the abortion debate, including stories of real-life dilemmas
facing women, situational ethics, popular representations of abortion in
the media, and the history and politics of the debate. The work
highlights women's subjective experiences and perceptions of
abortion, and places women's stories in an analysis of broader
conflicts over gender, religion, nationalism and modernity, and the
global politics of reproductive health. Available from: Routledge London, UK Web: |
