"When journalists, academics, and politicians describe the North American anti-abortion
movement, they often describe a campaign that is male-dominated, aggressive, and even
violent in its tactics, religious in motivation, anti-women in tone, and fetal-centric
in arguments and rhetoric. Are they correct? In The Changing Voice of the Anti-Abortion
Movement, Paul Saurette and Kelly Gordon suggest that the reality is far more complicated,
particularly in Canada. Today, anti-abortion activism increasingly presents itself
as "pro-women": using female spokespersons, adopting medical and scientific language
to claim that abortion harms women, and employing a wide range of more subtle framing
and narrative rhetorical tactics that use traditionally progressive themes to present
the anti-abortion position as more feminist than pro-choice feminism. Following a
succinct but comprehensive overview of the two-hundred year history of North American
debate and legislation on abortion, Saurette and Gordon present the results of their
systematic, five-year quantitative and qualitative discourse analysis, supplemented
by extensive first-person observations, and outline the implications that flow from
these findings. Their discoveries are a challenge to our current assumptions about
the abortion debate today, and their conclusions will be compelling for both scholars
and activists alike."
