Reseña del editor

A young activist reveals that the Pro-Life Movement's real agenda in America is a war on contraception, family-planning and sexual freedom. A pithy polemic bolstered by solid research, intellectual heft, and firsthand reporting, this is a book poised to change the debate over reproductive rights in this America. As activist and writer Cristina Page shows, the gains made by birth-control advocates (historically) and pro-choice organizations (currently) have formed the bedrock of freedoms few Americans would choose to live without. Now, not only is the future of legal abortion far from guaranteed, in many parts of the country ready access to many forms of contraception is in jeopardy as well. And that development, Page argues, should have all Americans, regardless of moral or political persuasion, deeply concerned. Page crystallizes the thoughts and attitudes of a generation of women and men whose voices are seldom heard in the political arena. "How the Pro-Choice Movement Saved America" is the first book to address the positive transformation the ability to plan when and if to have children has had on society. It also exposes the anti-choice movement's far-reaching-and dangerous-agenda.
