Opis

Abortion has remained one of the most volatile and polarizing issues in the United States for over four decades. Americans are more divided today than ever over abortion, and this debate colors the political, economic, and social dynamics of the country.

Recenzje

A masterful overview of abortion politics in America. Munson cuts through partisan politics and offers readers a straightforward look at how the abortion controversy has changed over time and its effects on American politics. A must read for anyone interested in how the abortion controversy has impacted American society.
Deana A. Rohlinger, Florida State University

Ziad Munson s lively and insightful book tackles the most heated controversy in American politics with rare balance and nuance. It has everything I could want in an undergraduate text on abortion politics but also makes novel arguments about the changing meanings of the issue. It is by far the best introduction to the history and politics of abortion available today.  
Drew Halfmann, University of California, Davis
