This paper is a content analysis of the depiction of abortion and adoption in 62 marriage and family textbooks published from i951 through 1987. Findings document that the differential constructions of abortion and adoption are long-standing features of textbooks: Books devote more attention to abortion than to adoption, and cast abortion as a macro, societal issue while depicting adoption as a micro issue. Thematic analysis suggests the influence of societal events, such as legalization of abortion, and of a legacy of a structural functional theoretical orientation in family studies. implications for teaching as well as for future research are discussed.
