Through the perspectives of patients, providers, activists and lawmakers, the author, as the landscape of abortion rights continues to shift, forcing people to cross state lines to seek life-saving care, presents this timely examination of human rights, healthcare and economic and racial inequality in America. "On June 24, 2022, Roe v. Wade was overturned, and the impact was immediate: by 2024, abortion was virtually unavailable or significantly restricted in 21 states. In Undue Burden, reporter Shefali Luthra traces the unforgettable stories of patients faced with one of the most personal decisions of their lives... A revelatory portrait of inequality in America, Undue Burden examines abortion not as a footnote or a political pawn, but as a basic human right, something worthy of our collective attention and with immense power to transform our lives, families, and futures"-- Provided by publisher. 20240731.
