Pregnancy, Birth and Abortion

Pregnancy, Birth and Abortion is a 1958 book about human pregnancy by the anthropologist Paul Gebhard, the sexologist Wardell Pomeroy, the sexologist Clyde Martin, and Cornelia Christenson. It was a publication of the Institute for Sex Research. The work was prepared and written with careful attention to sampling, methodology and date interpretation, to demonstrate the Institute's scientific competence despite the death of Alfred Kinsey and to answer the criticism that the Institute was interested only in popular, moneymaking books. Though it did not receive the public acceptance of Sexual Behavior in the Human Male and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female, the work was well received in scientific circles, and demonstrated that the Institute could survive as a productive research organization.[1]
