The Rights Turn in Conservative Christian Politics How Abortion Transformed the Culture Wars
Synopsis
This book examines a fundamental shift in American politics, detailing how conservative Christians have increasingly adopted 'rights' arguments to win political and legal battles. It explains how the issue of abortion served as a catalyst for this change, enabling conservative advocacy in various policy areas. The analysis challenges conventional understandings of the culture wars, showing how rights claims are used to both counter liberal positions and protect evangelical interests.
