Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-25 00:00:00 Pascal Schoon I'm marking this as "read," but I'm not being entirely honest. I reached page 177 of 200, near the beginning of the first of two chapters on Roe v. Wade, and simply couldn't continue, other than a quick glance-over. Unlike any of the other of the book's paired chapters, in which each chapter took a viewpoint that challenged the other, the two Roe chapters were both decidedly "pro-life" (to use misleading right-wing jargon). Also, within the first couple pages of her chapter, the first author throws around inflammatory terms like "pro-abortion" and "partial birth abortion." First of all, nobody is pro-abortion. Secondly--"partial birth"? I know the term provides compelling imagery, but it's just inaccurate. Additionally, the author claims that because late-term abortion is an unsavory procedure and is only very rarely medically required, it should be banned altogether; I think it's self-evident why this is a ridiculous (and likely dangerous) stand to take. Complete and utter nonsense: a political screed instead of a reasoned legal argument. In a book that purports to be Very Serious--propaganda should be left out. These two chapters must have been thrown in because of the editor's political leanings, and they really don't deserve to be included in this otherwise very interesting and informative book.
