While it has survived repeated calls for its reform, with its text barely altered for over five decades, women's experiences of accessing abortion services under it have evolved considerably. Drawing on extensive archival research and interviews, this book explores how the Abortion Act was given meaning by a diverse cast of actors including women seeking access to services, doctors and service providers, campaigners, judges, lawyers, and policy makers. By adopting an innovative biographical approach to the law, the book shows that the Abortion Act is a 'living law'. Using this historically grounded socio-legal approach, this enlightening book demonstrates how the Abortion Act both shaped and was shaped by a constantly changing society"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $t Abortion Act 1967 650 0 $a Abortion $x History. $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Abortion $x History. $z Northern Ireland $x History. 650 7 $a LAW / General. $2 bisacsh 630 07 $a Abortion Act 1967 (Great Britain) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02056765 650 7 $a Abortion $x Law and legislation $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794598 651 7 $a Great Britain $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 $a Northern Ireland $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205215 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Davis, Gayle, $d 1974- $e author. 700 1 $a O'Neill, Jane $c (Historian) $e author. 700 1 $a Parker, Clare $q (Clare Margaret), $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sheldon, Sally. $t Abortion act 1967 $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2022 $z 9781108677295 $w (DLC) 2022028576 830 0 $a Law in context 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011803.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5532583C2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
