Synopsis

Given the political fallout from the Supreme Court's decision in Missouri v. Webster and the Court's pending decisions in three more abortion cases, abortion rights promise to occupy centre stage in American politics for years to come. Funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, this timely work analyses the development of the pro-choice movement over the last twenty-five years, providing crucial background to the current abortion rights debate.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this highly-praised analysis of the controversial pro-choice movement, Suzanne Staggenborg traces the development of the movement from its origins through the 1980s. She shows how a small group of activists were able to build on the momentum created by other social movements of the 1960s to win their cause--the legalization of abortion in 1973--and argues that professional leadership and formal organizational structures, together with threats from the anti-abortion movement and grass-roots support, enabled the pro-choice movement to remain an active force even after their primary goal had been achieved.

Revue de presse

`The Pro-Choice Movement provides the most richly detailed and nunaced narrative of the strategies and tacticsof pro-choice organizations available. It is also one of the first works written by a scholar (rather than an activist, journalist, or freelance writer) chronicling the activities of the pro-choice movement.' American Political Science Review

`a meticulously researched exemplar of historical sociology' American Journal of Sociology
