"The Rhetoric of Operation Rescue" is a comprehensive examination
of the rhetoric of Operation Rescue, a pro-life social protest
group (prominent between 1988 and 1992) that orchestrated blockades
of clinics where abortions are performed. Steiner examines how the
group sought to persuade people - primarily conservative
evangelical and fundamentalist Christians - to join their ranks, as
well as how they sought to use their form of social protest to
achieve their public policy goals. In so doing, Steiner explains
both the group's initial success (beginning with its 1988 "Siege of
Atlanta" protests) and its ultimate failure. More fundamentally,
though, Steiner shows how the group appealed to the convictions of
conservative evangelical and fundamentalist Christians in the
United States. He shows how the rhetoric of Operation Rescue - for
those conservative evangelicals and fundamentalists that found it
convincing - shaped fundamental understandings of what their
Christian faith means, how to practice it in an authentic manner,
and how to engage in public dialogue and political activism.
