Americans are more divided today than ever over abortion, and this debate colors the political, economic, and social dynamics of the country. This book provides a balanced, clear-eyed overview of the abortion debate, including the perspectives of both the pro-life and pro-choice movements. It covers the history of the debate from colonial times to the present, the mobilization of mass movements around the issue, the ways it is understood by ordinary Americans, the impact it has had on US political development, and the differences between the abortion conflict in the US and the rest of the world. Throughout these discussions, Ziad Munson demonstrates how the meaning of abortion has shifted to reflect the changing anxieties and cultural divides which it has come to represent. Abortion Politics is an invaluable companion for exploring the abortion issue and what is has to say about American society, as well as the dramatic changes in public understanding of women's rights, medicine, religion, and partisanship."--Page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a Abortion $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Abortion $x Government policy $z United States. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Abortion $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794593 650 7 $a Abortion $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794610 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Politik $2 gnd 650 7 $a Schwangerschaftsabbruch $2 gnd 650 7 $a StaatstaÂtigkeit $2 gnd 651 7 $a USA $2 gnd 776 08 $i Online version: $a Munson, Ziad W. $t Abortion politics. $d Medford, MA : Polity, 2018 $z 9780745688824 $w (DLC) 2017061152 880 7 $6 650-00 $a Staatst�atigkeit $2 gnd 830 0 $a Social movements series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017020135.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C42C80E462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
