Carol Mason's book, provides example after example to explain her thesis on the apocalyptic nature of pro life politics. The was throughly researched and is consistently surprising in the amount of details present in the book.

On a personal note, Dr. Mason has been my women's studies professor for a year and a half; never once has she ever pushed her agenda/political beliefs/personal opinions on her students. In fact, she never even mentions them, she always gives BOTH sides of what we are learning and we figure out what we believe through our own papers. Just thought I should mention that because of what the the other reviewer said.

On page 27 of this otherwise good book, there is a serious factual error. Referring to the 1996 bombings in Atlanta, Mason writes "The bombs killed no one but injured many."

Actually, Ms. Alice Hawthorne of Augusta, Georgia, was murdered at Centennial Park when she was hit by shrapnel. She died in the presence of her teen-aged daughter. There was one other death, a Turkish photo journalist, Melih Uzonyol, who died of a heart attack in the same bombing.

In thirty years there have been 7 shootings/bombings at abortion clinics/abortion doctors in the US AND Canada that resulted in homicides. A tiny number of vandalisms(maybe another 7). The fringe that does this (Army of God and ACLA) could fit in a booth at Dennys. And Carol Mason writes a book that claims that pro-life literature creates homicidal maniacs? Is Carol mason just desperate to make money or is she really this morally confused?

Take a good look folks. This is who is teaching our kids in college. It is her ilk and people like Ward Churchill and those 9/11 truth scholars that have ruined our colleges and universities. Truly the closing of American Minds.
