Nominated for the <I>Los Angeles Times</I> Book Prize, <I>Articles of Faith</I> is a powerful exploration of one of the most divisive issues in our recent political history, and the only book to portray the passion of both sides of the abortion conflict. <P> Drawing from more than five hundred interviews as well as previously unseen archival material, Cynthia Gorney has written a compelling narrative that explores the years between <I>Roe</I> v. <I>Wade</I> (1973) and <I>William L. Webster</I> v. <I>Reproductive Health Services</I> (1989), the first case to challenge the Roe decision before an anti-<I>Roe</I> court. <P> Meet Judith Widdicombe, the registered nurse who runs the abortion underground in 1960s St. Louis and then the first legal clinic after <I>Roe</I> v. <I>Wade.</I> And meet Samuel Lee, a young pacifist and would-be seminarian whose provocative abortion bill becomes the centerpiece of <I>William L. Webster</I> v. <I>Reproductive Health Services.</I> The Supreme Court case brings the two advocates head-to-head.
