Based on 20 years of research, including an examination of the
papers of eight of the nine Justices who voted in Roe v. Wade and
Doe v. Bolton, Abuse of Discretion is a critical review of the
behind-the-scenes deliberations that went into the Supreme Court's
abortion decisions and how the mistakes made by the Justices in
1971-1973 have led to the turmoil we see today in legislation,
politics, and public health. The first half of the book looks at
the mistakes made by the Justices, based on the case files, the
oral arguments, and the Justices' papers. The second half of the
book critically examines the unintended consequences of the
abortion decisions in law, politics, and women's health. Why do the
abortion decisions remain so controversial after almost 40 years,
despite more than 50,000,000 abortions, numerous presidential
elections, and a complete turnover in the Justices? Why did such a
sweeping decision--with such important consequences for public
health, producing such prolonged political turmoil--come from the
Supreme Court in 1973? Answering those questions is the aim of this
book. The controversy over the abortion decisions has hardly
subsided, and the reasons why are to be found in the Justices'
deliberations in 1971-1972 that resulted in the unprecedented
decision they issued. Discuss Abuse of Discretion on Twitter using
