In many states in the U.S, abortion is accessible in name only due to lack of clinics, expense, waiting periods, and other obstacles. This is the result of a decade-long quest by the right wing to pass legislation restricting abortion throughout the country. Their ultimate goal is to overturn Roe v. Wade, which is now quite possible, with Republican control of the presidency and the Supreme Court. The End of Roe V. Wade examines the state by state legal war that has been waged by conservative anti-abortion forces, showing how abortion has essentially been made unavailable in many states, and how each state law is designed to specifically challenge Roe. The question for many observers now isn't if Roe will be overturned - it's which law will do it, and whether abortion opponents will be content to stop there. The book also looks at the inevitable rise of self-induced abortion in a post-Roe landscape, detailing the next big battle over abortion - those who chose to end pregnancies outside of the legal medical system against those who will prosecute them.
