Review “The future without Roe is coming straight at us. This is the roadmap you need for the tough times ahead.”—Katha Pollitt, author of Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights“Robin Marty is a leading writer and advocate who has spent a decade reporting on abortion in the U.S., and the practical support her book offers is unmatched. This resource guide covers the likely state-by-state legal landscape if Roe is overturned, how to prevent a pregnancy, how to self-manage your own abortion, direct actions you can take to support access to care, and much more.”—Andrea González-Ramírez, The Cut “This isn’t The Handmaid’s Tale, this is real life. In Handbook for a Post-Roe America, Robin Marty outlines the grim possibilities of President Trump’s conservative-leaning U.S. Supreme Court, positing, 'When we say abortion will be illegal in half the states in the nation, we are no longer talking about some hypothetical future—we are talking about just years down the road.' In chapters such as 'Planning For Your Own Emergencies' and 'So, You Want to be the Next Jane,'Handbook is a clear-eyed guide to protecting access and providing support—with or without the government’s consent.”—Rachel Leibrock, Sacramento News & Review “In her new book Handbook for a Post-Roe America, Robin Marty provides a blueprint for accessing reproductive healthcare and fighting for your rights in a country where abortion has become a crime.”—Glyn Peterson, The Nation “Activist and writer Robin Marty breaks it down by walking readers through worst-case scenarios of a post-Roe America, and offering individualized, pragmatic paths to join the fight no matter what you’re working with. Marty doesn’t shy away from topics like self-managed abortion care, and how to avoid surveillance if you or someone you know is accessing abortion outside of federal regulation. The book includes an extensive resource guide with clinics, action groups, abortion funds, and practical support groups in each state.”—Amelia Bonow, Electric Literature “Our present dystopian truth is scarier than fiction. Marty’s timely book empowers readers with the wide-reaching wisdom and practical guidance needed to govern and care for ourselves (and each other) in the midst of uncertainty. Marty anchors us with tools and resources that help light our way back to freedom as we navigate through the shadows of attacks on reproductive justice.”—Jamia Wilson, executive director and publisher of the Feminist Press “Handbook for a Post-Roe America is the survival guide American women will need to carry around like a Bible if we’ll ever survive the GOP’s rigid rule over US—er, the US.
