It analyzes anti-abortion engagement with the legislative, judicial, and executive branches, and offers what is frequently a narrative of disappointment and factionalism. The chapters explore pro-life responses to Supreme Court vacancies, attempts to pass a constitutional amendment, and broader legislative and bureaucratic strategies, including successful campaigns against international and domestic family planning programs. The book suggests that the 1980s transformed the anti-abortion cause, limiting the types of ideas and approaches possible at a national level. Although the movement later claimed Reagan as a "pro-life hero," while he was President right-to-lifers continuously struggled with the gap between his words and deeds. They also had a fraught relationship with the broader Republican Party. This book charts the political education of right-to-lifers, offering insights into social movement activism and conservatism in the late twentieth century.Palgrave Studies in the History of Social Movements,2634-6567United StatesHistoryHistory, ModernSocial historyWorld politicsFeminismFeminist theoryUS HistoryModern HistorySocial HistoryPolitical HistoryFeminism and Feminist TheoryUnited StatesHistory.History, Modern.Social history.World politics.Feminism.Feminist theory.US History.Modern History.Social History.Political History.Feminism and Feminist Theory.363.460973362.198880097309048Flowers Prudenceauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1229043BOOK9910483555703321The Right-to-Life Movement, the Reagan Administration, and the Politics of Abortion2853110UNINA
