"Clear-eyed and cutting, this disturbing litany of medical barbarisms calls into question the very notion that America is an advanced society, let alone a just one." - Publishers Weekly (Starred review)

"A compelling and timely examination of the state of abortion access in the United States." -Library Journal

"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

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.
