xviii Preface pro-life movements are the big story after 1973. Movements are a combination of ideas called frames and members called activists. Chapter 1 concludes with a discussion of the frames that reflect the divergent worldviews of each faction. After an understanding of the basics, we are ready in Chap- ter 2 to delve into the war itself, battle by battle, showing the continually shifting winners and losers over 45 years. One of these major conflicts pertains to the constitutionality of abor- tion law and the campaign to overturn Roe v. Wade. But there are also skirmishes over funding, administrative regulations, and emergency contraception. Included in the coverage is the all-too-real and still-ongoing firefight over access to abortion services. Chapter 3, new to this edition, features the compelling voices of those engaged in the front lines of this battle along- side scholars from a range of disciplinary perspectives. It opens with reflections from a cultural historian on the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that is at the heart of this controversy and the implications that follow from the Supreme Court’s grounding of the decision in the right to privacy. In an effort to capture more of the lived experience of abortion, there are also illumi- nating accounts from an abortion provider and a collector of women’s abortion stories, who are both seeking to destigmatize abortion. The next set of provocative essays is written by activ- ists. A pro-life feminist reflects on her search for acceptance and common ground at the 2017 Women’s March on Washington. A pro-choice feminist explores the motivation behind her work at Planned Parenthood and why the organization is the num- ber one target. The third offers us an insider’s look at Heartbeat International, a pregnancy help center, and the efforts of com- passionate Christians—women and men—seeking to affirm life by providing a community of support. Two additional con- tributions take us even deeper into the debate: a philosopher considers what role men should play in abortion decision mak- ing, and a bioethicist explores the clash of abortion rights and disability rights.
