- Summary
- "This nonfiction book for teens examines the ongoing fight for abortion rights and reproductive justice"--
- Abortion is one of the most common of all medical procedures. Making it illegal or hard to access doesn't make it any less common; it just makes it dangerous. People who support abortion rights have been fighting hard to create a world in which the right to access safe and legal abortion services is guaranteed. The opposition has been intense and sometimes violent, and victories have been hard won. Stevenson shows that the long fight for abortion rights is being picked up by a new generation of courageous, creative and passionate activists--adapted from front cover flap.
