School Library Journal Review

Gr 9 Up-An examination of the legal and moral aspects of the abortion debate that gives both sides of the argument via previously published essays and articles. Chapters are organized around such key questions as: ``Is abortion immoral?,'' ``Should abortion rights be protected or restricted?,'' ``Should protesters target abortion clinics?,'' and ``Should aborted fetuses be used for medical research?'' Authors addressing these topics include journalists, lawyers, theologians, Supreme Court justices, activists, physicians, and philosophers. A preface to each chapter provides an overview or background material for the question under discussion, while the essays offer diverse opinions on the emotionally charged issues. An extensive bibliography, a list of organizations to contact, and a comprehensive index are appended. This is a balanced choice for primary sources under one cover for reports or for YAs wanting a variety of opinions on this controversial subject.-Dana McDougald, Cedar Shoals High School, Athens, GA (c) Copyright 2010.
