Abortion is a critical battleground for debates over social values in both countries, but the constitutional premises on which arguments rest differ, as do the strategies that movements and parties adopt and the opportunities for influence that are open to them. By examining how these debates are conducted and by whom in light of the normative claims made by democratic theorists, the book also offers a means of judging how well either country lives up to the ideals of democratic debate in practice.Communication, society, and politics.AbortionPolitical aspectsGermanyAbortionPolitical aspectsUnited StatesAbortionPress coverageGermanyAbortionPress coverageUnited StatesPro-choice movementGermanyPro-choice movementUnited StatesPro-life movementGermanyPro-life movementUnited StatesGermanyPolitics and government20th centuryUnited StatesPolitics and government20th centuryAbortionPolitical aspectsAbortionPolitical aspectsAbortionPress coverageAbortionPress coveragePro-choice movementPro-choice movementPro-life movementPro-life movement363.46/0943Ferree Myra Marx900742MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817494203321Shaping abortion discourse4017760UNINA
