TY - GEN AB - 'Defenders of the Unborn' traces the history of the campaign against abortion in the United States from the 1930s through the 1970s and argues that the pro-life movement (or anti-abortion movement) originated as a human rights campaign grounded in the principles of New Deal liberalism. The book explains how a campaign for the 'right to life' for the unborn that began as a Catholic movement used the language of universal human rights to expand its appeal to Protestants and a few Orthodox Jews in the early 1970s and argues that the movement's liberal ideology contributed to its political success.
