"A disturbing account of the impact on women and their medical providers of the unremitting attacks on the right to abortion. There are many books about abortion politics, but none that makes such powerful use of real women's voices to show us what happens when a constitutional right becomes an obstacle course." --Linda Greenhouse, author of Becoming Justice Blackmun "Everyone should read this enlightening contribution to the pantheon of reproductive justice books." --Loretta Ross, coauthor of Reproductive Justice: An Introduction "This blistering chronicle of the real consequences of abortion restrictions exposes the work of a vicious hazing system that degrades and delays women seeking to exercise their constitutional rights. Yet the vivid storytelling of patients, medical personnel, and volunteers in this book makes it an uplifting testament to all who refuse to surrender women's freedom." --Katie Watson, author of Scarlet A: The Ethics, Law, and Politics of Ordinary Abortion "In this brave and insightful book, Cohen and Joffe explain in clear detail how not only legal rights but also basic health are placed in jeopardy when the right to an abortion is jeopardized and placed out of reach." --Michele Goodwin, Chancellor's Professor, University of California, Irvine "The book makes a valuable addition to scholarship on abortion, offering a gripping look at how abortion restrictions actually operate." --Mary Ziegler, Professor of Law, Florida State University College of Law "This is an important and timely book. Its rare bringing together of the stories of women and abortion providers, set against the legal and social context of what women must face, will open eyes." --Kristen Luker, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley, School of Law
