Examining forces that shaped abortion policy-the medical, legal, & religious discourses-this is an analysis of the political manuevering, particularly at the state level before the landmark Roe v Wade decision. Nossiff does not show the events leading up to the decision, rather, it details how politics played out among party & interest groups. Using NY & PA as examples the book shows how despite similar demographic, political, & economic characteristics, NY passed a liberal policy while PA passed a most restrictive one.Nossiff, Rosemary is the author of 'Before Roe Abortion Policy in the States' with ISBN 9781566398091 and ISBN 1566398096.
