  * Abortion is a contentious issue in social life but it has rarely been subjected to careful scrutiny in the social sciences. Here, Boltanski, a leading sociologist, seeks to develop a sociology of birth and abortion. * He draws on reports gathered from hospital settings and in-depth interviews with women who have had abortions.
