LIFE ITSELF: ABORTION IN THE AMERICAN MIND
Rosenblatt, Roger
1992 53771 Rosenblatt, essayist for the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, is on to something here with interesting theories about why America is so singularly obsessed with the abortion issue. He speculates as to reasons: our Puritan origins, the loneliness of American life, antagonism to women's liberation and despair over the eroding national morale, which commenced during the Vietnam War. He also presents an instructive history of how societies, ancient and modern, have viewed abortion. In the U.S. doctors were the first to express opposition to abortion, he notes. They did so to wrest abortion from midwives and gain control of all medical procedures. Rosenblatt issues a plea to pro-choice and pro-life advocates for tolerance, stressing that most of the country has mixed feelings regarding the issue and that our nation has learned to live with diversity. Reasoned historical and cross-cultural discussion such as this could serve to de-escalate the hysteria. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Most polls report that the majority of Americans support the right of a woman to choose an abortion. Why then is this issue tearing our country apart, columnist Rosenblatt wonders. He traces the sociological history of abortion and cites depth of religious feeling and lack of consensus in the United States as factors contributing to our particularly divisive struggle. Rosenblatt feels that living in a democracy means tolerating ideas and practices we may not agree with. If pro-life and pro-choice activists will admit this, they can stop shouting at each other, admit the ambivalencies almost everyone feels about abortion, and begin a real dialog. Perhaps then a "permit but discourage" policy, which Rosenblatt feels is what most of the country wants, could be implemented. A unique and sane slant on the abortion question, and a worthwhile acquisition for all libraries in this election year. Random House 0-394-58244-6 / 9780394582443
