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.
