Anyone interested in family planning in Japan should read this book! Not only does it do a fantastic job of explaining the Japanese mindset regarding abortion (since abortion rates in Japan are extremely high from an American point of view), but it is also an in-depth look at the new anti-abortion movement in Japan which has become a multi-million dollar industry in Japan that survives by creating and then feeding off of post-abortion guilt. This is a great academic read, but it is also interesting from a cultural perspective.
