Abstract
This activity requires students to identify legal goals and socio-legal methods anti-abortion advocates used to pursue their agenda in the forty-nine years between Roe v. Wade and Dobbs v. Jackson. Students are required to view two brief videos by or about self-defined pro-life advocates, read selections of a scholarly overview of the history of the anti-abortion movement, and one newspaper article reviewing pro-life advocacy tactics. On that basis they are required to identify at least six discrete examples of particular legal goals that advocates sought, the venue or jurisdiction where the change was sought, and what methods the advocates used.
