The definitive account of the battle for reproductive freedom and a bold new strategy to safeguard our rights, from two lawyers at the forefront of the movement. WhileRoe v. Wadeis a household name in America, few are aware of the impact ofPlanned Parenthood v. Casey, the Supreme Court's 1992 ruling that preserved but redefined and substantially limited abortion rights, especially for the most marginalized women. Caseyrather thanRoehas established the constitutional standards that today govern abortion in the U. S. When pundits talk about the reversal ofRoe, they really mean the reversal ofCasey. Within the next two years and likely far sooner, we are going to lose the protections ofRoeandCasey. Through state legislation, the appointment of hundreds of anti-abortion federal judges, and the rapidly changing makeup of the Supreme Court, reproductive freedom has never been in more dire straits. Legal titans Kathryn Kolbert and Julie F. Kay share the story of one of the most divisive issues in American politics through behind-the-scenes personal narratives of the stunning losses and hard-earned victories in landmark abortion rights cases. They chronicle how a convergence of Supreme Court appointments and the strategies of political movements on both sides of this contentious debate have led us to a make-or-break moment for legal abortion in the United States. Most urgently, they propose a bold new strategy for engaging a fresh generation and broadening the scope of abortion rights supporters. | Controlling Women by Kathryn Kolbert, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
