About this audiobook
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 Roe v. Wade is overturned, which is now quite possible with a conservative Supreme Court, half of the states in the US will likely make abortion completely illegal within their borders.
The End of Roe v. Wade 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-Roe 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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I finished this book on the day a US Supreme Court draft was leaked in which Roe v Wade is overturned.
I read this book mostly while sitting in a fertility clinic, trying to get pregnant, and while I was raised to be unequivocally supportive of abortion, I felt my pro-choice nature get even stronger. I am bereft for the American people and how much the Christian right wants to hurt them.
While this book is quite dense and desperately needed a better editor, it meticulously laid out the Republican playbook of the last 20 years. And it is horrific. Hurting women and other pregnant people is entirely the point. Entirely.
