Reviews for The Making of Pro-life Activists
"Munson's focus on variations across pro-life activists - rather than between pro-life and pro-choice activists - adds exceptionally valuable nuance to our understanding of the movement. Along with this comparative emphasis, his clear and theoretically subversive argument makes this an original and significant book." - Elisabeth Clemens, University of Chicago"
