Sažetak
Reproduction is the locus of some of the most pressing conceptual, moral, legal and political quandaries in contemporary societies. It is also the locus of the two powerful and conflicting social movements: pro-choice and pro-life. Using the sociological theories of social movements as a general framework, and a theory of resource mobilization as a specific approach, the author analyzes strategies, policies and activities of the movements in the USA and Croatia. The analysis includes the following elements: (a) image-making and public-relation strategies/activities of the movements, (b) law-making policies and activities, (c) mobilization of the members and supporters for the movements, (d) practical actions and activities of pro-choice v.v. pro-life movements to achieve their conflicting goals and objectives. The author compares the American social movements and the seeds of the Croatian ones.
