This week on Under the Radar with Callie Crossley:
For more than 10 years, author Joshua Prager immersed himself in the story of the woman at the center of the Roe v. Wade case, Norma McCorvey, as well as the lawyers who filed the case and the leaders of the then nascent anti-abortion movement.
McCorvey’s life as a plaintiff in the Roe case and the cast of characters around her provide a revealing window into the abortion controversy writ large. Prager’s careful, detailed research and masterful storytelling reveals the contradictions, hypocrisy, righteous fury and gut wrenching pain that helps explain how the landmark legislation became a third rail.
