Articles of Faith

Journalist Cynthia Gorney chronicles the abortion movement between the Roe v. Wade decision of 1973 and the William L. Weaver v. Reproductive Health Service case (1989) to explain the political savvy that propels each side. She uses material from some 500 interviews to explain the passion and commitment that runs deep on both sides of the abortion war. Articles of Faith follows the path of a nurse who runs an abortion clinic in St. Louis and a member of the right-to-life movement. 575 pages.
