Chapter 3 examines the development and use of the women-centered strategy of the pro-life movement, which since the mid-1990s has been used together with the fetus-centered strategy. The chapter analyzes the way in which both discourse and public policy address issues of informed consent, trauma—including Post-Abortion Syndrome—and health concerns, to show the public that abortion harms women. This strategy is often more scientific in nature, using data and research to promote the argument. The legislation that follows focuses on limiting and regulating abortion, a strategy that is more conservative in nature. This approach furthers the tension between the libertarian and conservative factions within the GOP. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
