Whether for debate studies or personal exploration, this volume presents a balanced and detailed overview of the nation’s abortion controversy. In particular, it considers the repercussions following the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which decided that there is no constitutional right to an abortion. Individual chapters in straightforward text, supplemented by quotes and facts from both pro-life and pro-choice individuals, politicians, and organizations, explain Roe v. Wade and the path to overturn it, as well as health care access and concerns for women and medical professionals’ responsibilities under the Dobbs ruling. The last two chapters focus, respectively, on antiabortion crusaders and their pro-life movements and legislative efforts by pro-choice advocates to restore abortion rights. Interspersed photos, charts, graphs, and sidebars (e.g., one covers the woman who became known as the plaintiff Jane Roe) add context to the multifaceted information, making this complex issue more accessible. Readers can continue their research through the extensive back matter, including source notes and related organizations, books, and websites.
