Until the late 1960s, the authorities on abortion were for the most part men-politicians, clergy, lawyers, physicians, all of whom had an interest in regulating women's bodies. Even today, when we hear women speak publicly about abortion, the voices are usually those of the leaders of women's and abortion rights organizations, women who hold political office, and, on occasion, female physicians. We also hear quite frequently from spokeswomen for anti-abortion...

Mucho se ha escrito sobre el tema que aborda este libro; no obstante, no ha sido lo suficiente como para que se superen ciertos enconos, se dejen de lado inconducentes banalizaciones, falsas conjeturas, ideas y analogías que dan sustento a posicionamientos erróneos que dañan y vulneran un reconocimiento de la igual dignidad de las personas para decidir libre y soberanamente sobre sí mismas.
