Personhood

The New Civil War Over Reproduction
Book • 2025
Mary Ziegler's book chronicles the internal struggles and changing ideas that have shaped the personhood debate over half a century.

It explores how the recognition of fetuses as persons under the Fourteenth Amendment could make liberal abortion laws unconstitutional and discusses broader implications for in vitro fertilization, contraception, and women's equality.

The book offers insights into the era following the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
