 and the Law in America: Roe v. Wade to the Present" by Mary Ziegler\n\nWith 
 the Supreme Court likely to reverse Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion 
 decision, American debate appears fixated on clashing rights. The first 
 comprehensive legal history of a vital period, Abortion and the Law in 
 America illuminates an entirely different and unexpected shift in the terms 
 of debate. Rather than simply championing rights, those on opposing sides 
 battled about the policy costs and benefits of abortion and laws 
 restricting it. This mostly unknown turn deepened polarization in ways many 
 have missed. \n\nNever abandoning their constitutional demands, pro-choice 
 and pro-life advocates increasingly disagreed about the basic facts. 
 Drawing on unexplored records and interviews with key participants, Ziegler 
 complicates the view that the Supreme Court is responsible for the 
 escalation of the conflict. A gripping account of social-movement divides 
 and crucial legal strategies, this book delivers a definitive recent 
 history of an issue that transforms American law and politics to this 
 day.\n______________________________________________________________
