Description: In June 2022, the constitutional right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade was overturned, and abortion was banned in states across the country. It was a bombshell, dramatically altering the geographical landscape of abortion legality and availability. But it did not change everything. Even under Roe, abortion had been a right in name only for many in the United States. The fall of Roe changed a great deal, but it is also noteworthy for what it did not change--and for what it made visible.
Review Quotes: "Smartly conceptualized, engaging, and insightful, When Roe Fell reveals the problems presented by Roe, the possibilities for exploitation leveraged by Dobbs, and the potential for a better foundation in the future if we pay attention to the lessons learned."--Krystale E. Littlejohn "author of Just Get on the Pill: The Uneven Burden of Reproductive Politics"
