Описание: What does a pro-life lawyer have to say about abortion law? What are the costs of abortion for mothers, minorities, and women? Does abortion target the poor and disabled? Is the abortion industry connected to organized crime, including sex trafficking?Attorney Matthew S. Thomas explains it all in easy-to-understand terms, with full legal and academic citations for those doing research. Using case after case and statistic after statistic, attorney Thomas, proves that not only was the Roe v. Wade case (which legalized abortion in all fifty states) a stunningly poor decision by the Supreme Court, but that its impact on American society has been devastating.The sources used in this book are not only reliable, but are often from liberal publications such as the New York Times, NPR, and NBC News (or are direct quotes from Supreme Court cases). As such, the reader can be confident that it will be hard for Democrats and leftists to simply dismiss the arguments contained herein, at least without dismissing information their own favorite media publishers. If you are a conservative or Republican, we hope this book gives you the tools to make your case going forward Some of the interesting topics explored in this book include:1.A look at the legal justification for Roe v. Wade.2.How abortion impacts society's most vulnerable.3.The long-term psychological damage of abortion on mothers and fathers.4.A Biblical prospective on abortion for Christians/Catholics.5.Substituting the word "abortion" for "slavery" in an Abraham Lincoln speech.Thanks to all our loyal readers - Upbeat Conservative Publications

Описание: This 25th anniversary edition places abortion politics in the context of reproductive justice today and explains why abortion has been--and remains--a political flashpoint in the United States.

Prior to Roe v. Wade, hundreds of thousands of illegal abortions occurred in the United States every year. Rickie Solinger shares the story of Ruth Barnett, an abortionist in Portland, Oregon, between 1918 and 1968 to demonstrate that it was the law, not so-called back-alley practitioners, that most endangered women's lives in the years before abortion was legal. Women from all walks of life came to Barnett to seek abortions, who worked in a proper office, undisturbed by legal authorities, and never losing a patient. But in the anti-abortion fervor of the post-World War II era, Barnett and other practitioners were hounded by police and became convenient targets for politicians, forcing desperate women to use abortion syndicates run by racketeers or self-induced methods that often ended in serious injury or death. Solinger makes vivid use of newspaper accounts and extant legal transcripts to document how, throughout the country, laws were used to persecute competent abortion practitioners.

This 25th anniversary edition clarifies why the cultural and political meanings of abortion have remained surprisingly static despite the status of women changing so dramatically since Barnett and Roe v. Wade. And as attempts to overturn Roe v. Wade continue, The Abortionist is an instructive reminder of the vigilance necessary to protect both women and those who provide them with the freedom to decide for themselves what is best for their own health.

Описание: San Francisco’s Queen of Vice uncovers the story of one of the most skilled, high-priced, and corrupt abortion entrepreneurs in America. Even as Prohibition was the driving force behind organized crime, abortions became the third-largest illegal enterprise as state and federal statutes combined with changing social mores to drive abortionists into hiding. Inez Brown Burns, a notorious socialite and abortionist in San Francisco, made a fortune providing her services to desperate women throughout California. Beginning in the 1920s, Burns oversaw some 150,000 abortions until her trial and conviction brought her downfall. In San Francisco’s Queen of Vice, Lisa Riggin tells the story of the rise and fall of San Francisco’s “abortion queen” and explores the rivalry between Burns and the city’s newly elected district attorney, Edmund G. “Pat” Brown (father of the present governor of California). Pledging to clean up the graft-ridden city, Brown exposed the hidden yet not-so-secret life of backroom deals, political payoffs, and corrupt city cops. Through the arrest, prosecution, and conviction of Burns, Brown used his success as a stepping-stone for his political rise to California’s governor’s mansion. Featuring an array of larger-than-life characters, Riggin shows how Cold War domestic ideology and the national quest to return to a more traditional America quickly developed into a battle against internal decay. Based on a combination of newspaper accounts, court records, and personal interviews, San Francisco’s Queen of Vice reveals how the drama played out in the life and trial of one of the wealthiest women in California history.

Описание: New medical technologies, women`s willingness to talk online and off, and tighter judicial reins on state legislatures are shaking up the practice of abortion. As talk becomes more transparent, Carol Sanger writes, women`s decisions about whether to become mothers will be treated more like those of other adults making significant personal choices.

Описание: Forty years after Roe v. Wade, it is evident that the ideologies of "choices" and "rights," which have publicly framed reproductive politics in North America since the landmark legal decision, have been inadequate in making sense of the topic`s complexities. In Reproductive Acts, Heather Latimer investigates what contemporary fiction and film can tell us about the divisive nature of these politics, and demonstrates how fictional representations of reproduction allow for readings of reproductive politics that are critical of the terms of the debate itself. In an innovative argument about the power of fiction to engage and shape politics, Latimer analyzes works by authors such as Margaret Atwood, Kathy Acker, Toni Morrison, Larissa Lai, and director Alfonso Cuaron, among others, to claim that the unease surrounding reproduction, particularly the abortion debate, has increased both inside and outside the US over the last forty years. Fictional representation, Latimer argues, reveals reproductive politics to be deeply connected to cultural anxieties about gender, race, citizenship, and sexuality - anxieties that cannot be contained under the rules of individual rights or choices. Striking a balance between fictional, historical, and political analysis, Reproductive Acts makes a compelling argument for the vital role narrative plays in how we make sense of North American reproductive politics.

Описание: How to Do Things with Affects develops affects as a highly productive concept for both cultural analysis and the reading of aesthetic forms. Shifting the focus from individual experiences and the human interiority of personal emotions and feelings toward the agency of cultural objects, social arrangements and aesthetic matter, the book examines how affects operate and are triggered by aesthetic forms, media events and cultural practices. Transgressing disciplinary boundaries and emphasizing close reading, the collected essays explore manifold affective transmissions and resonances enacted by modernist literary works, contemporary visual arts, horror and documentary films, museum displays and animated pornography, with a special focus on how they impact on political events, media strategies and social situations.
