Book Synopsis
Since Roe versus Wade, abortion has been a continually divisive political issue in the United States. This title looks beyond simplistic cultural or religious explanations to find out why abortion politics and policies differ so dramatically in these otherwise similar countries. It argues that political institutions are the key.

Trade Review
"Doctors and Demonstrators is an innovative, thorough, and expertly designed work of political analysis. There is much to admire here, but one of the most important elements is the use of a comparative historical approach to an issue of legal policy. Halfmann sets up an intriguing puzzle - why are abortion politics in the United States, Britain, and Canada so different? - and provides a subtle yet clear and powerful explanation." (John Skrentny, University of California, San Diego)"
