About this book

In The Changing Voice of the Anti-Abortion Movement, Paul Saurette and Kelly Gordon suggest that anti-abortion activism increasingly presents itself as “pro-women," employing rhetorical tactics to present the anti-abortion position as more feminist than pro-choice feminism.

Reviews

Lois Harder, Department of Political Science, University of Alberta:

“Saurette and Gordon’s book is a major contribution to our understanding of abortion politics in Canada and a compelling example of how to analyse political strategy through discourse. It will be a ‘go-to’ text for gender and politics courses.”
