The Happiness Wars — Paul Lyons

What was it like to live in a time when abortion was illegal, and not only illegal but taboo?How does a sunny Aussie family living the zip-a-dee-doo-dah life in nineteen sixties Sydney deal with a prospect as radical as abortion, particularly when their snobbish, Nietzsche-reading, high IQ son falls in love with an underage country girl knocked up by her uncle?Happiness is a precious commodity and good people will do terrible things to preserve it.
