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\n\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\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40896937427041,"sku":"9780804792028","price":11.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/62c87153c8ae896158f1873398d11b3f.png?v=1688747124","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780804792028-new-states-of-abortion-politics","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
