However, after the 2022 \u003ci\u003eDobbs\u003c\/i\u003e decision, Americans' opinions began to change. \u003ci\u003eNot Going Back\u003c\/i\u003e explores the shifts in public opinion on this hot-button issue from the landmark passing of \u003ci\u003eRoe v. Wade\u003c\/i\u003e in 1973 through the 2024 election and into 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors ask, \"What role do Americans want their government to play in protecting, regulating, or restricting abortion access?\" and, \"How will changing attitudes on abortion reshape American politics?\" They offer cohesive, theoretically grounded explanations for both the continuity and the change in Americans' attitudes on this contentious topic. Using national data, they take a deep dive into the personal experiences and social forces behind these changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot Going Back\u003c\/i\u003e ends with an examination of the consequences of these changes for election outcomes. While there has been a striking reversal in the prioritization of abortion as an issue among Democrats and Republicans, the full impact of this shift in thinking will be influenced by future policies, court decisions, and party reactions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurel Elder,Steven Greene,Mary-Kate Lizotte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439926506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439926505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs","brand":"Laurel Elder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440609898751,"sku":"9781439926505","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31db2c9d-fbd0-48d3-876a-17c794bd1af1.jpg?v=1777183595","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/not-going-back-laurel-elder-9781439926505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
