This book will serve to persuade students, educators, politicians, lawmakers, and community leaders in the debate on abortion. It will emancipate the reader from mundane and restrictive analyses, such as those lobbed by courts, legislatures, and mass media. It scathes routine constrictions and liberates fresh thoughts on specialized topics, including choice, penance, and parenthood. The book offers powerful perspectives about legalized termination and reduction, using allusions to cult films and images from pop culture to explore dark realities and seldom discussed principles of survival and procreation. Its analysis is bolstered by frameworks adopted from feminism, film studies, queer theory, religious analysis, legal studies, criminal justice, social science, and economics.

Dr. Carmen M. Cusack teaches Criminal Justice courses, including Sexual Offenders, at Nova Southeastern University, USA. Her vast research focuses on family law, criminal law, and justice. Some of her relevant publications include “Boob Laws” (2012); “Feminism and Husbandry” (2013); Laws Relating to Sex, Pregnancy, and Infancy (2015); Illicit Sex within the Justice System (2017); Fish in the Bible (2017); and Fish, Justice, and Society (2018). She is the Editor of Journal of Law and Social Deviance, which informs readers about pop culture, art, fertility, parental obligations, and other topics of interest.
