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.
