Synopsis

This comprehensive manual for understanding and preparing for the looming changes to reproductive rights law explains how to get the healthcare you needby any means necessary. Activist and writer Robin Marty guides listeners through various worst-case scenarios of a post-Roe America and offers ways to fight back, including how to acquire financial support, how to use existing networks and create new ones, and how to, when required, work outside existing legal systems. She details how to plan for your own emergencies, how to start organizing now, what to know about self-managed abortion care with pills and/or herbs, and how to avoid surveillance. The only guidebook of its kind, Handbook for a Post-Roe America includes an extensive, detailed resource guide for all pregnant people (whether cis, trans, or non-binary), listing clinics, action groups, abortion funds, and practical support groups in each state so that, wherever you live, you can get involved. With a newly right-wing Supreme Court and a Republican Senate, Roe is under threat. Robin Marty observes that When we say abortion will be illegal in half the states in the nation, we are no longer talking about some hypothetical futurewe are talking about just years down the road. We have to act now to secure what access remains, shore up the networks supporting those who need care, and decide what risks we are willing to take to ensure that any person who wants a termination can still end that pregnancywith or without the government's permission.

Despite being a constitutional right for 46 years, the right to terminate a pregnancy has b......more

Goodreads review by Rachel

I'm honestly terrified about abortion access in the United States (and contraceptive access, etc etc) these days. Robin Marty's earlier book, co-authored with Jessica Pieklo, Crow After Roe: How "Separate But Equal" Has Become the New Standard in Women's Health and How We Can Change That, helped me......more

Such a fantastic resource guide for what we can do now to protect abortion access, as well as a plan for an uncertain future. It’s pretty neat we live in a time where mifepristone and misoprostol can be purchased online with relative ease! A good companion book to read with this would be The Story o......more

Goodreads review by Amelia

An in-depth and well-researched guide for a post-Roe America. Marty discusses Roe v. Wade's history, why it was immediately impactful, and the plethora of resources that have sprouted prior to its ruling and after. Not only this, but she urges us to begin thinking seriously about what life will look......more
