- More about Roe: The History of a National Obsession
Mary Ziegler's book explores the many meanings of Roe v. Wade and its impact on abortion politics over the past 50 years. She argues that the decision had a hold on us beyond its original purpose of protecting the privacy of the doctor-patient relationship and forced us to confront questions about sexual violence, judicial activism and restraint, racial justice, religious liberty, and the role of science in politics.

“Ziegler sets a brisk pace but delivers substantial depth. . . . A must-read for those seeking to understand what comes next.”— Publishers Weekly The leading U.S. expert on abortion law, Mary Ziegler, explores the many meanings associated with Roe v. Wade during its fifty-year history. Ziegler argues that the U.S. Supreme Court decision, which decriminalized abortion in 1973 and was overturned in 2022, had a hold on us that was not simply the result of polarized abortion politics. Rather, Roe took on meanings far beyond its original purpose of protecting the privacy of the doctor-patient relationship. It forced us to confront questions about sexual violence, judicial activism and restraint, racial justice, religious liberty, the role of science in politics, and much more. In this history of what the Supreme Court's best-known decision has meant, Ziegler identifies the inconsistencies and unsettled issues in our abortion politics. She urges us to rediscover the nuance that has long resided where we would least expect to find it—in the meaning of Roe itself.
