The language around abortion is one of emotion and moral righteousness; to talk about it is to debate ethical ramifications, and how they might fit in to the greater legal context. The angle of this book is entirely different. It examines how the law got flipped playing by the established rules, rather than wading in to ethics. Surprise, surprise, it took slimy and underhanded tactics with a new Court bench willing to buck convention for their purview of ethics. Personal feelings aside, I was shocked at how without precedent this decision was. All along the way were lenient judges and dedicated crusaders, who got their way with a decision that was unlike any before it. Hard to stomach at times but ultimately very informative.
