Abstract
The present chapter is an analysis of how 10 women described their positions on abortion prior to and after deciding to terminate an unplanned pregnancy. The discursive features of their pre- and post-decision accounts are contrasted, noting the ways their pre-abortion accounts resembled the generalized, impartial, simplistic accounts that characterize political abortion rhetoric, and how they reframed and reconstructed more experiential, complex, integrated, and objective accounts, which then informed their changed position on the issue of abortion.
