Analyzes the latest efforts by opponents of same-sex marriage to frame their battle against this practice as a matter of religious liberty. Explains that by framing the opposition to same-sex marriage as an issue of religious liberty, the religious right does not need to change public opinion on same-sex marriage, arguing instead that this is an issue of conflicting rights, with the opposition simply fighting for individual liberty.
Traces the development of the discourse used by the pro-life movement since the 1970s, and its relationship to public policy efforts at the state and federal level. Argues that these successes are the result of a dynamic and responsive movement, which has adapted both its discourse and public policy efforts since Roe v. Wade.
