Abortion Wars: A Half Century of Struggle, 1950-2000
Abortion Wars, edited by historian Rickie Solinger, is a collection of 18 essays, all  written by abortion-rights supporters. Ranging from physicians who provide abortions to journalists  who scrutinize the current political and social trends regarding the issue, these essays present a  variety of experiences and opinions across the pro-choice spectrum. Readers who thought the  legality of abortion was settled once and for all by the Supreme Court'sRoe v. Wadedecision might want to think again after reading William Saletan's essay about the ramifications of  the Court's ruling inPennsylvania v. Casey. Those interested in what it's like to be on the  frontlines of the abortion war will find the essays by doctors illuminating.
