From the Back Cover

The conservative 'social issues agenda' promises to use the power of law to effect a cultural counterrevolution that would negate the successes of the civil rights movement, the women's movement, and the gay rights movement. In this lively and provocative book, the author of Belonging to America discusses a wide range of issues-from street crime and pornography to abortion and school prayer-and argues eloquently that most of the social issues agenda violates the constitutional principle of equal citizenship.
