Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Garrow traces the evolution of today’s battles over when a fetus becomes a person with rights. From 1965 when a single Connecticut clinic offered contraception and was shut down to the current abortion access challenges in Texas and Mississippi. Along the way, the focus has moved from privacy to women’s sexuality to an almost total focus on the fetus. And he underscores the role religion played in each of these developments.
David Jeffries Garrow, Ph.D. Pulitzer Prize-winning author. He wrote the book Liberty and Sexuality: The Right to Privacy and the Making of Roe v. Wade, (Macmillan, 1994; University of California Press, 1998). He received his Ph.D. from Duke University and his undergraduate degree from Wesleyan University.
