From the Clinics to the Capitol - How Opposing Abortion Became Insurrectionary

"An extremely important work that sheds light on the current status (and historical evolution) of the antiabortion movement and its relationship to other right-wing movements in ways no other work does. This is brilliant."--Carole Joffe, coauthor of After Dobbs: How the Supreme Court Ended Roe but Not Abortion

"Mason has come up with a significant, indeed urgent, treatment of the antiabortion movement. She treats the full integration of antiabortion activists and organizations into the extreme right. Or rather, she demonstrates how antiabortion politics--its ideology, its groups, its figures both well known and less so--have from its beginnings through to January 6 and beyond been components of the leading edge of the most extreme US right wing, including those engaged in violent militia actions."--Lawrence Rosenthal, author of Empire of Resentment: Populism's Toxic Embrace of Nationalism
