520    "In an age where Roe v. Wade is in danger of being 
       overturned, a minister and ethicist offers a Christian 
       defense of abortion, arguing that we need to trust women 
       to make moral decisions about their pregnancies, their 
       families, and their futures. Unplanned pregnancy and 
       abortion are a normal part of women's reproductive lives: 
       roughly one-third of US women will have an abortion by age
       forty-five, and fifty to sixty percent of the women who 
       have abortions were using birth control during the month 
       that they got pregnant. Yet women who have abortions are 
       shamed and judged for their actions, and safe access to 
       abortion is under relentless assault. In this carefully 
       reasoned and powerful book, Christian ethicist Rebecca 
       Todd Peters argues that abortion is not the problem. The 
       problem is our inability to trust women to act as rational,
       capable, responsible moral agents who must weigh the 
       concrete moral question of how to respond to a particular 
       unplanned pregnancy. When we move away from a debate 
       requiring women to justify ending a pregnancy, Peters 
       writes, and toward a debate that considers the broader 
       social problems and questions that shape women's 
       reproductive lives, and the lives of their children, we 
       will have created a public policy debate that is asking 
       the right questions. In an age in which women's 
       reproductive rights are increasingly under attack, Peter's
       stirring defense of abortion as an ethical choice is 
       necessary reading"--|cProvided by publisher.
