Description
The Lie that Binds by Ilyse Hogue and Ellie Langford is an unflinchingly incisive analysis of how abortion rights became a rallying cry for a much larger movement bent on maintaining control in a changing world. The authors, NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue and Research Director Ellie Langford, examine the evolution of conservative political machinery designed to thwart social progress. This book introduces the colorful cast of characters behind the Radical Right, tracing how abortion was intentionally targeted as a rallying cry for their followers when other prejudices fell from favor. The authors reveal that opposing abortion rights was a Trojan horse to move a deeply unpopular policy agenda under the guise of "morality". A deeply-researched investigation, The Lie that Binds pulls back the curtain on how this radical operation drives our politics and threatens our democracy. A crucial primer for political observers, journalists, and engaged citizens, this book offers an essential insight into the forces driving contemporary US politics.
