The issue of reproductive rights has taken center stage in recent months with the appointment of two conservative Supreme Court justices, which threatens Roe v. Wade, the supreme court case that legalized abortion in 1973.

Abortion Under Attack addresses a spectrum of personal and social influences, ranging from dealing with remorse to the impact that economics, race, and culture have on a woman's right to choose. Krista Jacob, longtime advocate for reproductive rights and former abortion counselor, has compiled an impressive collection of writings by a diverse group of pro-choice activists who go beyond the same old analysis of reproductive rights to present the current issues facing the pro-choice movement. Feminist activist Amy Richards challenges supporters of reproductive rights to adopt language that strips conservatives of their moral authority as defenders of “life.” Author Laura Fraser writes about the dangers of a government that restricts Mifepristone, a drug that has proven effective in treating fibroids, endometriosis, and depression, because of its controversial use in terminating pregnancies. Gloria Feldt, the former President of Planned Parenthood, writes about how her personal experiences led to her role as a leader in the fight for reproductive justice, and offers strategies for preserving legal abortion.

Mary Pat Rice
5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book I have been waiting for!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2007
A truly honest work, giving voice to the complex grey areas surrounding abortion and leading to basic human rights. This anthology challenges the concept of "choice" as it is inaccessible to all women. Calling for a new conversation that includes the spectrum of reproductive health issues and that poor and working class women are merely seeking our basic human rights, and that "pro-choice" does not capture the breadth of what women seeking access to basic health care are fighting for. Essays address the fact that women may have personal and moral conflicts with abortion, while still believing that it must be safe legal and accessible. The biggest skeleton in the closet is brought to light, that women may have feelings of greif and loss and that it is possible to still beleive that they have made the right decision. A great book for discussions, curricula and book clubs. This kind of open discussion that happens in the grey areas is what can propell reproductive justice into the future. LOVED IT.

This is a great book if you're interested in the abortion debate, in particularly for the pro-choice side. Although some of the essays don't live up to the standard of the rest of the book, in general it is a very interesting read. I read this directly after reading "Lost: Illegal Abortion Stories" and found they complimented each other very well.
