Summary:
"With stories from the
front
lines
, a legal scholar journeys through distinct legal climates to understand precisely why and how the
war
over
abortion
is being fought. Drawing on her years of research in
El
Salvador
- the only country to ban
abortion
without exception - legal scholar Michelle Oberman explores what happens when a country makes ending a pregnancy a crime. She reveals the practical experiences of criminalizing
abortion
, such as selective enforcement, mistaken diagnoses, wrongful convictions, and a thriving black market in
abortion
drugs, and she describes how Salvadoran doctors and lawyers collaborate in order to identify and prosecute those suspected of abortion-related crimes. To illustrate how similar draconian polices are enforced in the United States, Oberman turns her attention to
Oklahoma
, one of the most pro-life states. Through a series of interviews with current and former legislators in
Oklahoma
, and in stories gathered from crisis pregnancy centers and
abortion
clinics, Oberman reveals how abortion-related
laws
become incentives or penalties, nudging pregnant women in one direction or another. A fresh look at the battle over
abortion
law and an invitation to those on all sides of the issue to move beyond the incomplete discourse about legality by understanding how the law actually matters. Michelle Oberman is a professor at Santa Clara University School of Law"--Provided by publisher.
