This thought–provoking reference work explores the evolution of America’s heated abortion debate in a selection of over 40 primary documents from the 19th century to the present day. The guide includes not only key laws and court cases that have determined abortion policy, but also political speeches, medical essays, theological writings, newspaper advertisements, magazine articles, and popular books that offer insight into America’s changing attitudes towards women, race, the medical field, and the role of government in its citizens’ personal lives. Each document is preceded by an introductio...

It seems possible that diagnosis of PBC in Chinese persons may have been missed by lack of awareness or a preponderance of other disease processes, and it is possible that a more vigorous pursuit of hepatosplenomegaly or elevated serum alkaline phosphatase levels in the Singapore population might reveal further instances of the disease.

The preparation of freeze-dried cryo was well tolerated by patients and produced an expected rise in Factor VIII, and preliminary experience indicates good stability for some months at 4'C and for days to weeks at room temperature.

It is concluded that one of the modes of action of aprotinin in reducing blood loss after cardiac surgery may be by reducing the inhibitory effect of heparin on platelet function.

The high incidence of abortion in adolescents and women who are pregnant for the first time poses the threat of future infertility and worsening health in Russia, which still has a high level of maternal mortality.

The reproductive function is one that, like severe physical exertion, tests all the bodily functions, and under it some women will break down, even if previously perfectly sound.

Stories about abortion provide a rich ground for looking at the relationship between narrative, experience, and meaning because in many ways abortion has come to be a defining issue for American culture—one that touches on the value we attribute to human life, liberty, and freedom. Using personal stories and interviews, MariAnna seeks to show the contours of a vital and diverse collective story—a narrative that emphasizes the discursive dynamics at work in any account of the significance of abortion.

Abstract A deprivation of women’s reproductive rights has occurred by the right-wing turn in recent United States’ politics. Looking at the details of Roe v.

Using an example, the author notes the unconscious male fear of female’s bodily self-governance that inhibits any empathy for “the other.” Sh...

These are rather wide upper and lower confidence limits. One wonders what other information the authors have included that is of the same standard of accuracy. On the other hand, Malcolm Potts told me some years ago that the experience of his parent organization, the International Planned Parenthood Federation, with the...
