Table of ContentsContents Acknowledgments Introduction: Struggling Through Life Part 1 1. When Abortion Became a Political-Economic Problem 2. Remembering, Forgetting, and the Secrets of Life Part 2 3. “White Man’s Plague”: Anti-Malthusian Memory Work at the Fin de Siècle 4. “More Wisdom in Living”: Neo-Malthusian Memory Work at Midcentury 5. “The Lesser of Threatened Evils”: Therapeutic Amnesias Conclusion: Seeking Immunity Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsNathan Stormer has written a stunning book, beautifully illustrating how rhetorical struggles over and through abortion have long been about situating ourselves and pregnant women in time and place. Civilization is recursive to the maternal body, with abortion positioned as a sign of collective disorder. It is precisely because abortion is a <em>medicalized</em> national metric that the issue is so intractable. Defined through biopolitics, abortion is perceived as a collective, irreparable wound, and ongoing political struggles reliant on familiar frameworks only deepen this intractability. Stormer s elegant genealogy, both diagnostic and gently prognostic, has the capacity to shift how we see human reproduction and our place in it. </p> Monica J.
