Recenzii
'This ever so readable book brings conceptual clarity and fascinating historical detail to understanding the dynamic nature of an abortion law. The book will be an invaluable guide in post-decriminalisation jurisdictions, like Australia, as health laws replace criminal laws on abortion, also becoming living texts open to contest and interpretation.' Barbara Baird, Associate Professor in Women's and Gender Studies, Flinders University and Co-Convenor South Australian Abortion Action Coalition
'Built on impressive historiographical and socio-legal foundations, The Abortion Act brings together an astounding range of materials to document and explains the resilience, evolution, and contestation of this one, decades-old statute. Written with sensitivity, rigour, and elegance, it is essential reading on abortion regulation, legal and political innovation, and the everyday politics of reproductive rights in the UK.' Fiona de Londras, Chair of Global Legal Studies, University of Birmingham
'This is an exemplary account of struggles to fix the meaning of Britain's most controversial law. It is eye-opening to see how, over a half-century, pitched battles and quiet reforms revolutionized the practice of abortion in ways no one foresaw in 1967- while hardly altering the statute itself.' Nick Hopwood, Professor of History of Science and Medicine, University of Cambridge
'This fascinating book is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand UK abortion law, but it is of much wider significance. It shows how legal meanings are created through the complex interplay of theory and practice. Everyone who cares about the processes of law reform should study it closely.' Sir Jonathan Montgomery, FMedSci, LLM, Hon FRPCH, Faculty of Laws, University College London
'This important and impressive book chronicles the coming into force of what can be labelled the most contested Act of Parliament in English legal history. It dives deep into an impressive range of archives and is bolstered by an informative set of oral history interviews. This is a must read for theorists of social movements, feminists, socio-legal and critical legal scholars, as well as historians of the twenty-first century.' Linda Mulcahy, FAcSS, Chair of Socio-Legal Studies and Director of the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, University of Oxford
'Qualifying in medicine in 1969 in Aberdeen, and inspired by Dugald Baird's Fifth Freedom, I grew up with the implications of the 1967 Abortion Act. And so, it was fascinating to read and understand the legal and social history, the twists and turns, of where we are now. Thoroughly researched and well presented, this book is a must for all who care about Women's Health.' Allan Templeton, CBE FMedSci, Former President of the RCOG, and Emeritus Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Aberdeen
