Based on a model code drafted by the American Law Institute, the new statute authorizes abortion whenever a pregnancy 1) threatens grave damage to the woman's physical or mental health, 2) results from rape or incest, or 3) is likely to produce a child with a severe mental or physical defect. Even then, abortions require unanimous approval by a hospital panel of three doctors. North Carolina has followed suit, but does not require panels...

Though she cringes when her middle-class Jewish family calls her mishugenah (crazy woman), she showers ludicrous language on parents, teachers, guidance counselors, lovers and lechers. The most feared experience she can anticipate is sex, for which she concocts a rather repulsive name: "making piggies." By book's end, she has made piggies defiantly from Detroit to Cambridge, Mass., and is looking forward to the Big Scene...
