(Ebook) No Choice - The Destruction of Roe v. Wade and the Fight to Protect a Fundamental American Right by Becca Andrews ISBN 9781541763081, 1541763084

The pieces started to fall in 2019 when a wave of anti-abortion laws went into effect. Georgia, Ohio, Mississippi, Louisiana & Kentucky banned abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, while Missouri banned the procedure at eight weeks. Alabama banned all abortions. The die was cast. And on June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and, abortion immediately became illegal in 22 states.No Choice begins by shining a light on the eerie ways in which life before Roe will be mirrored in life after. The wealthy & privileged will still have access, low-income people will suffer disproportionately, and pregnancy will be heavily policed. Then, Andrews takes us to the states and communities that have been hardest-hit by the erosion of abortion rights in this country, & tells the stories of those who are most at risk from this devastating reversal of settled law. There is a glimmer of faint hope, though.As the battle moves to state legislatures around the country, the book profiles the people who are doing groundbreaking, inspiring work to ensure safe, legal access to this fundamental part of health care.
