Wade \u003c\/i\u003eassured millions of women that abortion was a protected constitutional right due to a woman’s right to privacy. In the context of the burgeoning women’s rights movement, it seemed like an inalienable victory: women might become equal to men in their right to determine what would happen to their bodies. This was a hard-won fight that reached back to colonial America and slavery, but on June 24, 2022, the decision was shockingly reversed by the Supreme Court in \u003ci\u003eDobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. \u003c\/i\u003eWhat happened? What transpired socially, politically, legally, in religious institutions and in popular culture in the half-century when “the right to choose” led to this stunning transformation in American society? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoe v.

They assembled at Harvard University in the weeks following the \u003ci\u003eDobbs\u003c\/i\u003e decision to talk through the centuries-long history of abortion in what became the United States, how its representation changed in the law and popular culture, and how a wellspring of social movements on both the right and left led to a fifty-year showdown over some of the most outstanding human questions: What is life? When does it begin? Who has the right to end it? Who has the right to determine what happens to someone else’s body? How can the law define and restrict women’s reproductive health? And how have race, class, geography, sexuality, and other factors shaped who gets to be a part of answering these questions? The international impact of the struggles for reproductive freedom for women within the United States comes into sharp focus within this important volume, shedding light on past, present, and future dimensions of reproductive freedom for all Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295091503477,"sku":"9780820365671","price":23.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780820365671_2371d4f5-37b9-41b6-912e-6878ec0952d9.jpg?v=1786015643"},{"product_id":"9781350456198","title":"Great Debates on the European Convention on Human Rights","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe 2nd edition of Great Debates on the European Convention on Human Rights encourages deep and critical engagement with the Convention, the Court, and the European system for human rights protection.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is widely hailed as the most successful regional human rights instrument. The decisions of its European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) are cited all around the world, and every year tens of thousands of people turn to the Court for relief and aid when they consider their human rights have been violated. In each of the 46 countries contracted to the Convention, the ECHR has an everyday impact, shaping law and public policy and being argued in domestic courts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaw schools in the UK and Europe generally focus on the case law of the Convention and approach it on an article-by-article basis. This grounding in the Convention, the jurisprudence of the Court, and the emerging contestations around whether the Convention properly protects the rights of marginalised and vulnerable groups is a vital foundation for understanding the Convention. However, the law relating to the ECHR is voluminous, and many courses are only able to concentrate on some of the most well-known case law, and some topics of particular contention (such as LGBTQIA+ rights, states of emergency, and freedom of the press).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreat Debates on the European Convention on Human Rights builds upon the 'nuts and bolts' grounding in the Convention and workings of the Court. It offers a unique thematic approach to thinking and learning about the Convention. Each of the key debates is illuminated by taking a wide lens on the ECHR: some points of contention are illustrated by reaching across Articles, others by examining national and international arenas, and still others by exploring the ECHR’s organisational structure and working practices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368698392949,"sku":"9781350456198","price":33.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781350456198_765fdc58-d3bc-4dab-9224-3ebd6e95de60.jpg?v=1786018192"},{"product_id":"the-practice-and-problems-of-transnational-counter-terrorism","title":"The Practice and Problems of Transnational Counter-Terrorism","description":"The attacks of 9\/11 kickstarted the development of a pervasive and durable transnational counter-terrorism order. This has evolved into a vast institutional architecture with direct effects on domestic law around the world and a number of impacts on everyday life that are often poorly understood. States found, fund and lead institutions inside and outside the United Nations that develop and consolidate transnational counter-terrorism through hard and soft law, strategies, capacity building and counter-terrorism 'products'. These institutions and laws underpin the expansion of counter-terrorism, so that new fields of activity get drawn into it, and others are securitised through their reframing as counter-terrorism and 'preventing and countering extremism'. Drawing on insights from law, international relations, political science and security studies, this book demonstrates the international, regional, national and personal impacts of this institutional and legal order. Fiona de Londras demonstrates that it is expansionary, rights-limiting and unaccountable.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57483461099893,"sku":"9781009850247","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-fiona-de-londras.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
