Beyond Abortion

Discover the profound insights in Beyond Abortion by Mary Ziegler, published by Harvard University Press in 2021. This compelling hardback edition spans 350 pages, offering a thorough examination of the complexities surrounding the right to privacy and its implications beyond abortion. Ziegler illustrates how Roe v. Wade's privacy rationale has influenced various left-leaning movements related to sexual orientation, class, gender, race, disability, and patient rights.
