Sobre este título

A reporter and abortion access correspondent investigates the secret killers and hidden motives behind the death of abortion rights.

They are going to kill people, investigative reporter for The Nation Amy Littlefield knew, when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. After a decade covering abortion, she wanted to more deeply understand the motives, means, and opportunities behind the antiabortion movement’s victory. So she set out to investigate the murderers of Roe.

Killers of Roe chronicles Littlefield’s journey into the unexplored corners of the most successful social movement of our time. As in every good murder mystery, the killers turn out to be the people you least suspect. Plot twists lurk around every corner as Littlefield meets believers, opportunists, and complicated heroes. Along the way, she encounters surprising characters who shed light on how we got to this moment of authoritarian rule: from the former fetus keeper standing trial in Michigan to the antiabortion militant turned long shot presidential candidate to the pro-choice superfans at the Reagan Library. Throughout the book, Littlefield draws upon women’s stories and her own experience as a mother to reveal the life-and-death stakes of America’s abortion wars.

At once clever and poignant reportage, this abortion whodunit uncovers the deeper story of how we lost Roe—and how we will win back so much more.

Resumo da Crítica

"A quirky yet hard-hitting inquiry into the overturning of Roe v. Wade. A fan of murder mysteries, the author frames her narrative as a whodunit in search of perpetrators… The result is a dogged pursual of those responsible for women’s deaths."—Publishers Weekly
"Haunting, riveting, and built around some of the most complex characters you'll ever meet, Amy Littlefield's Killers of Roe reads like a political murder mystery while providing the invaluable history of people and politics that were always knottier and more twisted than many of us know. A true gift to anyone who cares about the past or future of politics, families, and abortion care in the United States."—Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author of Good and Mad and All the Single Ladies
"Killers of Roe offers a vital glimpse into the hidden machinery of power, politics, and abortion. Amy Littlefield’s detective work here is searing and necessary."—Jessica Valenti, New York Times bestselling author of Sex Object and Abortion
"The death of abortion rights is not just a legal story about the revocation of a constitutional right. It’s a human tragedy that’s resulted in death for vulnerable women. Amy Littlefield shines a light on the culprits, and gives them the attention they deserve."—Elie Mystal, New York Times bestselling author of Allow Me to Retort and Bad Law
"Amy Littlefield’s Killers of Roe is essential reading. Her gripping reporting on the re-criminalization of abortion in the United States exposes, in clear and at times deeply personal prose, how right wing and religious operatives throttled reproductive freedom in the US – often enabled by liberals too willing to compromise. With a keen eye, sharp wit, and a deep well of compassion, she never loses focus on the true victims, those injured and killed by a system that allows, and even celebrates, the denial of care to those in need."—Amy Goodman, host, Democracy Now!
"In an electrifying book that reads like a real-life whodunit, Amy Littlefield exposes the secret history of the demise of Roe v. Wade and tracks its deadly impact. Her nuanced, portrait-driven study of the assault on women's reproductive rights and health shows that the end of Roe is just the beginning—unless we act collectively to stop it."—Katherine Stewart, author of instant New York Times bestseller Money, Lies, and God

"Amy Littlefield is one of the best journalists reporting on abortion and her sleuthing shines in Killers of Roe. Littlefield's curiosity and gumshoe reporting unfolds an interesting cast of characters as she uncovers the complicated questions surrounding the fall of Roe. Killers of Roe is a perfect read for true crime readers, cozy mystery aficionados, and reproductive freedom activists alike."

—Renee Bracey Sherman, co-author of Liberating Abortion
