'Health care - in particular, care related to sexuality and procreation - has become the epicenter of the struggle to define religious liberty in America. From insurance mandates to professional autonomy, from refusing reproductive care to 'treating' homosexuality, and from defining life to defining death, Law, Religion, and Health in the United States is essential reading.' R. Alta Charo, Sheldon B. Lubar Distinguished Research Chair and Warren P. Knowles Professor of Law and Bioethics, University of Wisconsin, Madison
