"In this updated edition Faux details recent challenges and erosions to the decision - including parental consent laws and bans on partial-birth abortions - and illuminates how the ruling has impacted public attitudes and policy. Dominating health care funding, religious ideologies, and party platforms, Roe v. Wade is a revolutionary decision that remains besieged and defended in equal measure, an issue in perpetual motion with little hope for either a decisive victory or a peaceful compromise. Faux's book is the definitive history, thoroughly balanced, and sensitively attuned to the complexity of our country's most incendiary issue."--Jacket.;Cover; Title Page; Copyright Page; Dedication Page; Table of Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; Introduction to the New Edition; Part I: The Abortion Controversy; 1: A Meeting; 2: Finding Jane Roe; 3: Two Women in Search of a Case; 4: Awakening a Nation's Conscience; Part II: In the Lower Court; 5: Suing the State; 6: The State Responds; 7: Reform, Dallas Style; 8: The Dallas Hearing; 9: The Dallas Decision; Part III: On Appeal; 10: The Appeals; 11: The Opposition; 12: Renewed Vigor; 13: Preparing for the High Court; 14: Ladies' Day at Court; Part IV: Abortion Politics; 15: Waiting.;In the last ten years, abortion extremists have killed three physicians and three clinic employees, injured many others, and bombed eight clinics that provide abortions."
