Secrets of the High Court is an iconoclastic exposé challenging our institutional beliefs on the abortion culture, its movement, purpose, and foundations. Criticizing the Left and Right, both established political parties, and Washington's elites, Klimek's dissident stance is refreshing in a debate too often reduced to bipolarizing ideologies. His primary argument that abortion's legalization in 1973 had little, if anything, to do with "women's rights" but all to do with corporate expansionism is serious and deserves its due. Klimek's proof that Doe v. Bolton, and not Roe v. Wade, is the abortion industry's landmark decision is a breakthrough.
The ultimate objective of this writing is to clearly show that on January 22, 1973, when on the same day two of the most important and consequential Supreme Court decisions regarding the legalization of abortion were handed down, they had very little, if anything, to do with a radically feministic idea of “women’s rights” (obscured somewhere within the heinous procedure of ending the life of an innocent child), but everything to do with the systematic expansion of corporate privileges—exemplified through the legalization, and (subsequently) national privatization, of abortion. These were the unspoken beginnings of a new American industry, the byproducts of greed found in the devastatingly sharp forces of big business and economics fueling its threshold.
