Zerlina Maxwell, author of The End of White Politics MSNBC Political Analyst, SiriusXM host “ This is a must read account of how the Radical Right’s quest for domination ultimately led to the country electing a race baiting, misogynist in Donald Trump. Hogue sticks to the facts and lays out the only effective path forward. Rebecca Traister, Bestselling Author, Writer-at-large New York Magazine “ The Lie that Binds is an unflinching look at the true origins of the right wing obsession with keeping half of the population “in their place.” From the very beginning, the purpose of anti-choice movement was to maintain and consolidate power in the hands of a few white men.

In this precarious and eruptive American moment, it could not be more timely in its exploration of fear, resentment, prejudice and the drive to cling to power in the face of righteous fights for freedom.” Senator Kirsten Gillibrand “ The Lie that Binds recounts the widely misunderstood history of the anti-abortion movement's origins with the right wing compulsion to resist social change and instead strengthen the system of white male religious control. This is a must-read for every legislator who is serious about protecting their constituents' civil and reproductive rights.” Stacey Abrams, Founder & Chair, Fair Fight Read More + “In vivid detail, Hogue lays out exactly how the Radical Right infected our democracy and our institutions to reverse social progress – and in doing so, teaches us how to most strategically fight back.
