Coakley\u003c\/i\u003e striking down a Massachusetts law regulating anti-abortion activism marked the reengagement of the Supreme Court in abortion politics. A throwback to the days of clinic-front protests, the decision seemed a means to reinvigorate the old street politics of abortion. The Court's ruling also highlights the success of a decades' long effort by anti-abortion activists to transform the very politics of abortion. \u003ci\u003eThe New States of Abortion Politics\u003c\/i\u003e, written by leading scholar Joshua C. Wilson, tells the story of this movement, from streets to legislative halls to courtrooms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the end of clinic-front activism, lawyers and politicians took on the fight. Anti-abortion activists moved away from a doomed frontal assault on \u003ci\u003eRoe v. Wade\u003c\/i\u003e and adopted an incremental strategy--putting anti-abortion causes on the offensive in friendly state forums and placing reproductive rights advocates on the defense in the courts. The Supreme Court ruling on \u003ci\u003eWhole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt\u003c\/i\u003e in 2016 makes the stakes for abortion politics higher than ever. This book elucidates how--and why. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua C.
