23 The abortion issue seems to have risen to political prominence about 1972. In that year the ANES questionnaire first addressed the question of voter attitudes toward abortion. See American National Election Studies 1972 Time Series Study, http://www.electionstudies.org/studypages/1972prepost/1972prepost.htm. Right-wing challenges to the administrative state as unconstitutional and un-American began with the American Liberty League with its anti-New Deal rhetoric. Following in the wake of the ALL are such movements as the John Birch Society of the 1950s, Barry Goldwater Republicanism of the1960s, the Posse Comitatus movement of the 1970s and 1980s, the militia movement of the 1990s, the Patriot movement, and the Tea Party movement of more recent times.
