Twenty-five years after Roe v. Wade, the ripple effect of that landmark ruling rocks our culture, politics and social relationships. Roe may have given women the right to choose abortion, but that difficult, personal choice will always be embedded in many contexts. Autonomy, bodily integrity and freedom - all at the heart of Roe - collide with other powerful forces whenever a woman considers ending her pregnancy. "The New Civil War: The Psychology, Culture and Politics of Abortion" examines the nexus of forces - religion, morality, race, politics, personal history, sociopolitical context - recognizing its complexity and interrelatedness. Looking beyond bumper sticker idealogy, which oversimplifies the abortion debate into a false dichotomy, these feminist scholars seek common ground among the contention.
