Professor examines rhetoric and reproductive rights as Supreme Court weighs Roe v. Wade
The leak of a draft in a Supreme Court abortion case has many people looking ahead to a time beyond Roe v. Wade protections. Heather Brook Adams, a professor of English at UNC Greensboro, looks at the issue by going back instead. She has a soon-to-be-released book on the rhetoric of shame and its impact on reproductive rights in the era just before that landmark Supreme Court decision legalized abortion. WFDD’s Paul Garber spoke with Adams about her book, titled Enduring Shame: A Recent History of Unwed Pregnancy and Righteous Reproduction.
