This book examines how legislators have juggled their passions over abortion with standard congressional procedures, looking at how both external factors and internal factors shape the development of abortion policy. The authors present a simple, formal model of strategic incrementalism, illustrating that legislators often have incentives to alter policy incrementally.

This text bridges formal theory and mainstream research on interest groups, thus making important connections between ideas that had previously been scattered across a variety of scholarly journals. The text covers the standard topics in the interest group field and provides empirical examples.
