It presents a careful, scholarly, and deeply felt account of the complex and contradictory ethical appeals that surround one of the most fiercely debated issues in American political life. The authors and editors allow the reader to listen closely to a variety of arguments and to explore the terrain of the debate and its vast traditional and contemporary literature. I can think of no better guides. -- Laurie Zoloth, The University of Chicago, USA\u003cbr\u003eIn this timely collection of essays—some new, some classic—feminist religious ethicists Margaret Kamitsuka and Rebecca Todd Peters expand Muslim, Jewish, and Christian ethics of pregnancy and its termination beyond the pages of religious texts to the lives of pregnant people as they unfold in very different historical, cultural, and religious settings. The stunning variety of disciplinary perspectives and the editors’ careful contextualizations make this rich volume indispensable for everyone who wants to reflect on religious responses to pregnancy and abortion in all of their moral complexity. -- Cristina L.H. Traina, Fordham University, USA\u003cbr\u003eNuanced, focused, and wide-ranging, this volume could not have been put together at a better time or by more qualified editors. It is an essential tool for religious advocates and their allies in the ongoing struggle for reproductive justice. I will certainly use and teach it. -- Juliane Hammer, UNC Chapel Hill, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cb\u003ePART ONE – In Their Own Words\u003c\/b\u003e  Introduction to Part 1 ‘América Gonzalez’,\u003ci\u003e So Many Lives at Stake\u003c\/i\u003e Anonymous, \u003ci\u003eIn the Shade of Allah’s Mercy\u003c\/i\u003e Kate Ott, \u003ci\u003eReproducing Justice                                                                        \u003c\/i\u003e CoWanda Rusk, \u003ci\u003eChrist Was There for Me During My Abortion            \u003c\/i\u003e Rachael Pass, \u003ci\u003eLo Teivoshi\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYou Will Not Feel Ashamed\u003c\/i\u003e ‘Alex’ (with Meera Shah), \u003ci\u003eYou’re the Only One I’ve Told   \u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cb\u003ePART TWO – Social Scientific Studies\u003c\/b\u003e  Introduction to Part 2 M.
