{"product_id":"9781503600539","title":"The New States of Abortion Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2014 Supreme Court ruling on \u003ci\u003eMcCullen v. Coakley\u003c\/i\u003e striking down a Massachusetts law regulating anti-abortion activism marked the reengagement of the Supreme Court in abortion politics. A throwback to the days of clinic-front protests, the decision seemed a means to reinvigorate the old street politics of abortion. The Court's ruling also highlights the success of a decades' long effort by anti-abortion activists to transform the very politics of abortion. \u003ci\u003eThe New States of Abortion Politics\u003c\/i\u003e, written by leading scholar Joshua C. Wilson, tells the story of this movement, from streets to legislative halls to courtrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the end of clinic-front activism, lawyers and politicians took on the fight. Anti-abortion activists moved away from a doomed frontal assault on \u003ci\u003eRoe v. Wade\u003c\/i\u003e and adopted an incremental strategy—putting anti-abortion causes on the offensive in friendly state forums and placing reproductive rights advocates on the defense in the courts. The Supreme Court ruling on \u003ci\u003eWhole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt\u003c\/i\u003e in 2016 makes the stakes for abortion politics higher than ever. This book elucidates how—and why.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108277240048,"sku":"9781503600539","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781503600539_p0.jpg?v=1763709778","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781503600539","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
