Bücher von Johanna Schoen

Chronicles and analyzes what the new legal status and changing political environment have meant for abortion providers and their patients. Johanna Schoen sheds light on the little-studied experience of performing and receiving abortion care from the 1970s to the rise of the antiabortion movement and the escalation of antiabortion tactics in the 1980s to the 1990s and beyond.

This book situates North Carolina's reproductive politics in a national and global context. It demonstrates how each method for limiting unwanted pregnancies had the potential both to expand and to limit women's reproductive choices. Schoen's study allows deeper understandings of the modern welfare state and the lives of women.
