When Abortion Was a Crime
Author: Leslie J. Reagan
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520387422
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
The definitive history of abortion in the United States, with a new preface that equips readers for what’s to come. When Abortion Was a Crime is the must-read book on abortion history. Originally published ahead of the thirtieth anniversary of Roe v. Wade, this award-winning study was the first to examine the entire period during which abortion was illegal in the United States, beginning in the mid-nineteenth century and ending with that monumental case in 1973. When Abortion Was a Crime is filled with intimate stories and nuanced analysis, demonstrating how abortion was criminalized and policed—and how millions of women sought abortions regardless of the law. With this edition, Leslie J. Reagan provides a new preface that addresses the dangerous and ongoing threats to abortion access across the country, and the precarity of our current moment. While abortions have typically been portrayed as grim "back alley" operations, this deeply researched history confirms that many abortion providers—including physicians—practiced openly and safely, despite prohibitions by the state and the American Medical Association. Women could find cooperative and reliable practitioners; but prosecution, public humiliation, loss of privacy, and inferior medical care were a constant threat. Reagan's analysis of previously untapped sources, including inquest records and trial transcripts, shows the fragility of patient rights and raises provocative questions about the relationship between medicine and law. With the right to abortion increasingly under attack, this book remains the definitive history of abortion in the United States, offering vital lessons for every American concerned with health care, civil liberties, and personal and sexual freedom.

Book Description
Excerpt from Criminal Abortion: Its Nature, Its Evidence, and Its Law In writing that portion which treats of the Criminal Law, it has been the aim of the authors to exhaust the subject. The cases have been stated so fully as to preclude the necessity of examining the volumes of Reports from which they are taken. This has been done not only for the benefit Of the non-professional reader, but for the reason that many of the cases cited are taken from English Reports, which are not generally accessible, even to the legal Profession, in this country. Free use has been made of the fifth edition of russell on Crimes, London, 1865. This edition, edited by Mr. Greaves, for accuracy and completeness is not surpassed by any text-book in the law. The practitioner in the criminal courts, whether engaged in the prosecution or defence, will find Precedents of Indict ments, - many of which have been drawn expressly for this work, and the evidence necessary to support them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.
