Press covers the personal side of his family's attempts to cope with this fear, as well as the national debate on abortion and reproductive rights in the United States. Police warned Press's father that it was likely that he too would be a target. Barnett Slepian, also an abortion provider, was murdered in his house by a religious extremist and antiabortionist, James Kopp, in October, 1998. The account is part a memoir of his father's experience as an abortion doctor in Buffalo, New York, and the trauma his family suffered when domestic terrorism hit them. Press then published a memoir, Absolute Convictions: My Father, a City, and the Conflict That Divided America, in 2006. Press edited his first book, Uncivil War: Race, Civil Rights & the Nation, in 1995. Press is a contributing writer to the Nation, and also contributes to a number of other periodicals, including American Prospect, New York Times Magazine, and the Atlantic Monthly.
