Wrath of Angels
by Jim Risen
Abortion has been at the emotional center of America's culture wars for a generation. Ever since the Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade decision, aborion has in many ways defined American politics, creating an ideological demilitarized zone between liberals and conservatives. Above all, the 25-year-long war over abortion has been responsible for the most significant social phenomenon of our times -- the political and cultural mobilization of Evangelical America. Furthermore, it has served as the lightning rod for the most intense and prolonged debate on the issue of separation of church and state since the founding of the nation.Now for the first time, in a compelling and very human narrative, Wrath of Angelstraces the rise and fall of the American anti-abortion movement and reveals its critical role in the creation of the Religious Right. The book explores why the passionate battle to end abortion failed to achieve its goal and yet in the process became one of the most important -- and least understood -- social protest movements of the 20th century. The anti-abortion movement was the catalyst that convinced Protestant fundamentalists to end their long cultural isolation, leaving their church pews for the streets. And, while they failed to change the law, they were transformed themselves, emerging as one of the most potent political forces in America at the end of the century.James Risen, an investigative reporter for the Los Angeles Times,and Judy L. Thomas, a reporter for Kansas City Star,are widely acknowledged as the leading journalistic experts on the anti-abortion movement. Their narrative history captures all the drama of the abortion battles of the past 25 years and reveals how a movement with its roots in the Catholic left's antiwar protests of the 1960s was gradually transformed into a rallying point for the newly muscular Religious Right. Wrath of Angelsdocuments the origins of the use of civil disobedience in the anti-abortion movement and offers the definitive explanation of why the movement ultimately descended into violence -- and collapsed as a political force. It tells the compelling story of the shootings of abortion doctors in the 1990s and draws upon exclusive interviews with the anti-abortion extremists who have been convicted in these crimes.Anti-abortion activism represents the largest social protest movement since the 1960s. With clarity and objectivity, Risen and Thomas unleash the stormy wrath of angels, the volatile eruption of fundamentalist fury into American politics.

Abortion : The Clash of Absolutes
Tribe, Laurence H
New York, NY, U.S.A.: W. W. Norton & Company, Incorporated, 1990. 270 Pages Indexed. No marks, stamps or underlining. Author photograph on rear jacket panel. Unclipped price 19.95 on dust jacket flap. Tan cloth with brown spine lettering and one-half blue paste on paper board covering. The practice of abortion in the United States involes all Americans in complex questions of sex and power, historical and cultural change, advances in medicine, political leverage, and competing social values. The author shows how the nation has struggled to answer these question in politics, in elections at every level, in law, in state legislatures, Congress and the courts where the conflict over abortion has become a contest for the power to select judges. Each answer has reaised new questions about Constitutional rights. Do these rights include a right to privacy? Is abortion a private mattter? What about rape and incest? What about the abortion pill? How will our decisions about abortion rights affect other rights that are fundamental to American life? Tribe, a professor of constitutional law at Harvard, believes that we can indeed find paths to common ground on these difficult questions. He offers guidelines for reacingapeace that will take into account the lalrge issues at stake: the right to privacy, the relations between men and women, and the rigt between the search for individual freedom and the yearning for community and tradition..
