Description

Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now by Jenny Brown In recent years, reproductive rights have faced significant challenges in the United States. As the Supreme Court has become increasingly conservative and several states have attempted to outlaw abortion altogether, activists are fighting to hold on to these fundamental freedoms. This book offers a powerful vision for building a new feminist movement that can win back ground. Jenny Brown draws inspiration from the experiences of women who fought for reproductive rights in the past, including those who challenged the laws banning abortion in the 1960s and 1970s. She argues that the key to success lies in reclaiming the fundamental ideas that won legal abortion in the first place: women publicly telling their own truth, demanding the repeal of all abortion restrictions, and highlighting the importance of access to birth control. By examining the struggles of activists like the Redstockings, the Army of Three, and the Jane Collective, Brown provides a roadmap for today's organizers. She shows how a focus on the experiences of marginalized communities can help build a more inclusive and effective movement for reproductive justice.
