Riassunto
An account of the legal and political struggles that created the right to privacy and won constitutional protection for a woman's right to choose abortion. It details both the unheralded contributions of the young lawyers who filed America's first abortion rights cases and also the inside-the-Supreme Court deliberations that produced Roe v Wade.
Testo aggiuntivo
"Drawing on hundreds of interviews, Garrow profiles key advocates of the liberalization or repeal of anti-abortion laws in the decades preceding Roe."
