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.
