Unmasking the systemic violence behind the overturning of Roe v. Wade “Read this book to get informed, stay sane, and learn to fight back” Lizz Winstead, co-creator of The Daily Show and host of Feminist Buzzkills “A must-read for all who care about bodily autonomy” Renee Bracey Sherman, founder of We Testify and co-author of Liberating Abortion “An urgent, unforgettable book” Hannah Matthews, author of You or Someone You Love Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the horrors inflicted by abortion bans began immediately and haven’t stopped. These laws have become a tool for abusers, as pregnant people face legal harassment, reproductive coercion, and life-threatening medical trauma. Through biting analysis, Kylie Cheung argues that these are not unintended consequences but deliberate acts of state violence against women and pregnant people within a system where certain lives are designated as expendable. This book is for everyone coming to terms with these realities amid the ongoing, alarming rollback of our bodily autonomy. Kylie Cheung is a Brooklyn-based journalist and the author of Survivor Injustice. Her work on reproductive rights and gender-based violence has appeared in Jezebel, Salon, Teen Vogue, and more. 'Kylie Cheung writes some of the most important dispatches from the front lines of women and marginalized people getting their rights systemically stripped around the world' - Kat Tenbarge Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the horrors inflicted by abortion bans began immediately and haven't stopped. These laws have become a tool for abusers, as pregnant people face legal harassment, reproductive coercion, and life-threatening medical trauma. Through biting analysis, Kylie Cheung argues that these aren’t unintended consequences, but deliberate acts of state-perpetrated violence inflicted on women and pregnant people, particularly those with the least resources and agency under capitalism and white supremacy. Capitalism has always consciously decided whose lives are expendable. This book is for everyone coming to terms with this fact in the era of the rollback of our bodily autonomy.
