      abstract = {This book offers a political, ideological, and social  history of the national right-to-life movement in the 1980s  under President Ronald Reagan. It analyzes anti-abortion  engagement with the legislative, judicial, and executive  branches, and offers what is frequently a narrative of  disappointment and factionalism. The chapters explore  pro-life responses to Supreme Court vacancies, attempts to  pass a constitutional amendment, and broader legislative  and bureaucratic strategies, including successful campaigns  against international and domestic family planning  programs. The book suggests that the 1980s transformed the  anti-abortion cause, limiting the types of ideas and  approaches possible at a national level. Although the  movement later claimed Reagan as a "pro-life hero," while  he was President right-to-lifers continuously struggled  with the gap between his words and deeds. They also had a  fraught relationship with the broader Republican Party.  This book charts the political education of  right-to-lifers, offering insights into social movement  activism and conservatism in the late twentieth century.},
