ABSTRACT

This article outlines the context and significance of David Alton’s bill in the late 1980s within the wider context of abortion reform in England, and addresses the methodological concerns around insider/outsider interview dynamics and issues of individual memory and analogy. This article considers how both hindsight and current perspectives on abortion help alter the narratives on the Alton Bill and antiabortion campaigning more broadly; it argues that there is a fundamental incompatibility, demonstrated by this case study, between parliamentary abortion reform and antiabortion ideology.

摘要

本文概述了大卫·奥尔顿（David Alton）在1980年代后期的法案在英国更广泛的堕胎改革背景下的背景和意义，并探讨了有关内部/外部采访动态以及个人记忆和类比问题的方法论问题。本文考虑了事后的看法和当前关于堕胎的观点如何有助于更广泛地改变《奥尔顿比尔》和反堕胎运动的叙述；它认为，本案例研究表明，议会堕胎改革与反堕胎意识形态之间存在根本的不兼容。
