Jessica Valenti examines the political landscape surrounding abortion rights after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The New York Times bestselling author cuts through media noise and misinformation to reveal how conservative lawmakers systematically attack women's freedoms and basic human rights. Valenti presents clear facts about public opinion, showing that American voters have supported abortion rights for decades and continue to do so. Nearly seventy percent of Americans want abortion legal in the first trimester, while sixty-three percent support legal abortion medication. The author provides readers with precise language to discuss abortion confidently and concrete evidence to support their arguments. She demonstrates how conservatives use abortion restrictions as a primary weapon to reverse decades of women's progress. Valenti equips readers with factual ammunition to counter these efforts effectively in personal conversations, at voting booths, and in courtrooms nationwide.
