Opis

With the Supreme Court likely to reverse Roe v. Wade, the decision legalizing abortion, American debate appears fixated on clashing rights. The first comprehensive look at the legal history of recent decades, this book illuminates an unexpected shift toward arguments about policy costs and benefits - one that deepened polarization.

Recenzje

'Ziegler's already weighty account leaves the reader desirous for more of her analysis and insights, including assessing the role of white supremacy in the modern era of antiabortion movements and learning how race-based tropes may be the next level of strategizing. For this, we must await her next book.' Michele Goodwin, Perspectives on Politics
