From the Clinics to the Capitol: How Opposing Abortion Became Insurrectionary (Reproductive Justice: A New Vision for the 21st Century)

by Carol Mason

How white nationalism and authoritarian populism have taken hold in America under the guise of opposing abortion.

Antiabortion stories, images, and policies have primed Americans to embrace attitudes and politics once deemed extreme. Abroad, US antiabortion tactics, personnel, and funds have contributed to a global rise of the Right.
 
From the Clinics to the Capitol is a scholar’s story of why and how abortion foes join other militants in waging war against the federal government. Reflecting on her thirty years of analyzing the intersections of race, reproduction, and right-wing movements, Carol Mason examines primary antiabortion sources that influenced political currents of the last fifty years. From Cold War conspiracism and apocalyptic fundamentalism to anti-statist terrorism, Tea Party populism, and MAGA insurrection, opposing abortion has come to imperil democracy worldwide.

this is the kind of book i’d give my mom but not my girlies. the assumed audience is someone who isn’t tapped into the assault on wimmin’s healthcare but the information is good
