"The history of the abortion issue in Canada has largely been a history of avoidance tactics. But in 1983 two men refused to wait any longer for others to remedy a situation they both regarded as scandalous: Dr. Henry Morgentaler abandoned his safe haven in Quebec to open clinics to help women in Toronto and Winnipeg, and in a Regina courtroom anti-abortionist Joe Borowski demanded that abortion be banned and that the law recognize a fetus as a "person" under the Canadian Charter of Rights.... Anne Collins recounts the drama of clinic openings, actual abortions, public raids and court battles; the historical, international, legal and political background to the issue; and the 15 years of futile lobbying - by both sides - to change the law. She illuminates the attitudes, tactics and evasions of both sides, and the role of the Church; shows how the movements are financed; provides vivid portraits of the leading players; and explores the implications of startling new biological discoveries about the fetus itself. Finally, she tackles the question of the morality of abortion - to end with a clear-sighted argument as to how we might resolve the conflict." -- back cover.
