{"product_id":"9781442615694","title":"The Changing Voice of the Anti-Abortion Movement: The Rise of \"Pro-Woman\" Rhetoric in Canada and the United States","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen journalists, academics, and politicians describe the North American anti-abortion movement, they often describe a campaign that is male-dominated, aggressive, and even violent in its tactics, religious in motivation, anti-women in tone, and fetal-centric in arguments and rhetoric. Are they correct?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Changing Voice of the Anti-Abortion Movement\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul Saurette and Kelly Gordon suggest that the reality is far more complicated, particularly in Canada. Today, anti-abortion activism increasingly presents itself as “pro-women”: using female spokespersons, adopting medical and scientific language to claim that abortion harms women, and employing a wide range of more subtle framing and narrative rhetorical tactics that use traditionally progressive themes to present the anti-abortion position as more feminist than pro-choice feminism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing a succinct but comprehensive overview of the two-hundred year history of North American debate and legislation on abortion, Saurette and Gordon present the results of their systematic, five-year quantitative and qualitative discourse analysis, supplemented by extensive first-person observations, and outline the implications that flow from these findings. Their discoveries are a challenge to our current assumptions about the abortion debate today, and their conclusions will be compelling for both scholars and activists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052848693488,"sku":"9781442615694","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442615694_p0.jpg?v=1763806560","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442615694","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
