Více o knize
On June 24, 2022, women's rights faced an unprecedented setback as five US Supreme Court justices made a decision with far-reaching consequences. In this compelling blend of reportage and history, journalist Becca Andrews explores the journey to this critical moment. The narrative begins with the origins of abortion across global cultures, then shifts to the century-long struggle in America, revealing unsettling parallels between life before Roe and the current landscape. The book highlights how the wealthy will continue to access services while low-income individuals will disproportionately bear the burden, with increased scrutiny on pregnancies. Andrews takes readers to the frontlines—clinics, courtrooms, and local communities—sharing poignant stories of those who have undergone abortions and those advocating for reproductive rights. Amidst the challenges, there is a glimmer of hope. As the fight transitions to state legislatures, the book showcases inspiring individuals dedicated to ensuring safe, legal access to this essential aspect of healthcare. This account is a vital contribution to the ongoing discourse surrounding abortion, reminding us of its historical context and the resilience of those who continue to advocate for women's rights.
