Fighting Mad: Resisting the End of Roe v. Wade (Reproductive Justice: A New Vision for the 21st Century)

by Krystale E. Littlejohn (editor), Rickie Solinger (Editor)

A fierce and galvanizing reminder that resistance is everywhere in the fight for abortion and reproductive justice in the United States.
 
Fighting Mad is a book about what "reproductive justice" means and what it looks like to fight for it. Editors Krystale E. Littlejohn and Rickie Solinger bring together many of the strongest, most resistant voices in the country to describe the impacts of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision on abortion access and care.
 
The essayists and change agents gathered in Fighting Mad represent a remarkable breadth of activists and artists, academics and abortion storytellers, health care professionals and legislators, clinic directors and lawyers, and so many more. They discuss abortion restrictions and strategies to provide care, the impacts of criminalization, efforts to protect the targeted, shortcomings of the past, and visions for the next generation. Fighting Mad captures for the social and historical record the vigorous resistance happening in the early post- Roe moment to show that there are millions on the ground fighting to secure a better future.

[Hillary Connor · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really like the essay format of this book but definitely a little more academic so took me a while to get through. LOVED the sections on religion and abortion access and reproductive futurisms
