Publisher's summary

Ever wonder how the strength and determination of women helped shape the landscape of reproductive rights in America? Are you fascinated by the power of an independent, militant women’s movement, which could even influence the conservative Supreme Court? If so, Free Abortion on Demand Without Apology: Reproductive Justice in a Post-Roe America should be your next listen.

Here, we step into the powerful world of reproductive justice and gain valuable insights into liberating all girls, women, and LGBTQIA+ individuals from oppression. We aim to walk the path toward true democracy by helping women finally claim equality, bodily autonomy, and, ultimately, their human rights.

Penned by Tamara S. Eliot, this book takes you back in time to remember how we won the landmark case of Roe v. Wade at a time when an all-male conservative Supreme Court was in power, and Nixon was in the White House. Eliot sheds light on how despite their perfect public image–politicians have historically feared the power of the people in the streets. She also unravels how the Democratic Party, in her opinion, has co-opted and diffused the power of the Women’s Movement.

In this thought-provoking account, Eliot provides a roadmap for reclaiming the momentum and power of the Women’s Movement to reshape the future of reproductive justice forever. She emphasizes the urgent and crucial need for a movement that is united in solidarity, under a banner of equality and justice for all, and independent of the two corporate-backed, mainstream political parties.

With this guide, we’ll take a deep-dive into the history of the womens’ struggle for the right to have control over their own bodies.

Learn how the term “pro-choice” is not inclusive of the experiences of BIPOC women, queer folks, and other marginalized women. In order to be successful in addressing international human rights, the battlefield for women’s rights needs the leadership of the women who are most impacted by systemic racism and oppression.

Inside Free Abortion on Demand Without Apology: Reproductive Justice in a Post-Roe America, you’ll discover:

• How safe abortion is necessary for our healthcare—and the dangerous consequences when women lose access to it.
• A detailed look into the formation and history of the reproductive justice movement–which challenges structural power inequalities, prioritizes diversity, equity and inclusion, and must replace the “pro-choice” movement moving forward. As well as the role of abortion as a political tool used by the ruling elite to divide our nation.
• A retrospective on the country’s abortion rights—from court rulings to laws—that meticulously paints a picture of the nation’s “undemocracy.”
• The importance of grassroots action, as our reliable solution moving forward.
• A vision for a proactive abortion rights agenda that guarantees reproductive justice for all, not just the privileged few, by demanding that Congress pass the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2023.

And, of course, there is much more to unpack! Equip yourself with the tools to understand, engage, and join the fight for reproductive justice. Together, we can build a multinational mass-movement for reproductive justice that’s independent of the mainstream political parties, which are controlled by the ruling elite. We marched in the streets and won the right to abortion in the 1970s. We can do it again. Be part of the collective effort in the struggle for reproductive justice for all girls, women, and LGBTQIA+ individuals.
