The 2014 Supreme Court ruling on McCullen v. Coakley striking down
a Massachusetts law regulating anti-abortion activism marked the
reengagement of the Supreme Court in abortion politics. A throwback
to the days of clinic-front protests, the decision seemed a means
to reinvigorate the old street politics of abortion. The Court's
ruling also highlights the success of a decades' long effort by
anti-abortion activists to transform the very politics of abortion.
The New States of Abortion Politics, written by leading scholar
Joshua C. Wilson, tells the story of this movement, from streets to
legislative halls to courtrooms. With the end of clinic-front
activism, lawyers and politicians took on the fight. Anti-abortion
activists moved away from a doomed frontal assault on Roe v. Wade
and adopted an incremental strategy-putting anti-abortion causes on
the offensive in friendly state forums and placing reproductive
rights advocates on the defense in the courts. The Supreme Court
ruling on Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt in 2016 makes the
stakes for abortion politics higher than ever. This book elucidates
how-and why.
