Breaking the Abortion Deadlock? Twenty-Five Years AfterRoe v. Wade

Abstract

A quarter-century has passed since the U.S. Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade in 1973. In recognition of the intense debates that continue to surround the question of abortion rights, the editors present the following forum, based on Eileen McDonagh's recent book, Breaking the Abortion Deadlock, published by Oxford University Press. The discussion was first presented at the 1997 Meetings of the American Political Science Association in Washington, D.C., on a panel moderated by Sue Davis, University of Delaware.
