Inhaltsangabe

<p>In the past decade, right-wing efforts to end legal abortion in the United States have reached a fever pitch, with anti-abortion legislation being introduced in several “red”—and even some “purple”—states. This war on abortion has had a chilling effect on women’s reproductive health, making abortion accessible in name only in multiple parts of the country due to a lack of clinics, high cost, extensive waiting periods, and other issues. And if <i>Roe v. Wade</i> is overturned, which is now quite possible with a conservative Supreme Court, half of the states in the U.S. will likely make abortion completely illegal within their borders.</p><p><i>The End of Roe v. Wade</i> examines the systematic destruction of legal abortion on a state by state basis, as well as detailing the Trump administration’s unprecedented efforts to end access to abortion and contraception on a federal level. This timely and urgent book also offers a harrowing glimpse into what a post-<i>Roe</i> America will look like, previewing the next major battle over abortion rights—pitting those who chose to end their pregnancies outside of the legal medical system against those who will prosecute them.</p>
