Generation Roe: Inside the Future of the Pro-Choice Movement

Generation Roe: Inside the Future of the Pro-Choice Movement

Strong support among women was key to Obamaâ€™s reelection. At the start of his second term, it is time for Barack Obama, forty years afterÂ Roe v. Wade, to finally help lead us to demystify abortion. One-third of all American womenÂ will have an abortion by the time they are 45, and most of those women are already mothers. Yet, the topicÂ remains taboo. In this provocative book on the heels of the Planned Parenthood controversy, Sarah Erdreich presents the antidote to the usualÂ abortion debates.

Inextricably connected to issues of autonomy, privacy, and sexuality, the abortion debate remains home base for the culture wars inÂ America. Yet, there is more common ground than meets the eye in favor of choice. Generation RoeÂ delves into phenomena such as "abortion-recovery counseling," "crisis pregnancy centers,"Â and the infamous anti-choice "black children are an endangered species" billboards. It tells the stories of thoseÂ who risk their lives to pursue careers in this stigmatized field. And it outlines the outrageous legislativeÂ battles that are being waged against abortion rights all over the country. With an inspiring spirit and a forward-looking approach, Erdreich holds abortion up, unabashedly, as aÂ moral and fundamental human right.
