Handbook for a Post-Roe America Paperback – January 15, 2019
Purchase options and add-ons
Handbook for a Post-Roe America is a comprehensive and user-friendly manual for understanding and preparing for the looming changes to reproductive rights law, and getting the healthcare you need—by any means necessary. Activist and writer Robin Marty guides readers through various worst-case scenarios of a post-Roe America, and offers ways to fight back, including: how to acquire financial support, how to use existing networks and create new ones, and how to, when required, work outside existing legal systems. She details how to plan for your own emergencies, how to start organizing now, what to know about self-managed abortion care with pills and/or herbs, and how to avoid surveillance. The only guidebook of its kind, Handbook for a Post-Roe America includes an extensive, detailed resource guide for all pregnant people (whether cis, trans, or non-binary) of clinics, action groups, abortion funds, and practical support groups in each state, so wherever you live, you can get involved.
With a newly right-wing Supreme Court and a Republican Senate, Roe is under threat. Robin Marty observes: "When we say abortion will be illegal in half the states in the nation, we are no longer talking about some hypothetical future—we are talking about just years down the road. We have to act now to secure what access remains, shore up the networks supporting those who need care, and decide what risks we are willing to take to ensure that any person who wants a termination can still end that pregnancy—with or without the government's permission."

- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2019I'm honestly terrified about abortion access in the United States (and contraceptive access, etc etc) these days. Robin Marty's earlier book, co-authored with Jessica Pieklo, Crow After Roe: How "Separate But Equal" Has Become the New Standard in Women's Health and How We Can Change That, helped me understand what anti-abortion movements were doing and how they approached their work. In this new book, Robin Marty shifts the focus to our team - the reproductive rights and justice movements. "Handbook" is an accurate term here, since this book instructs us on how to get involved, alongside cautions regarding risks. I'm thrilled that this book exists - it's assuring to know that this kind of instruction is available to all of us, when we need it. It's an essential work right now.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2019I'm sure we've all seen the news lately: several states passing uncannily strict bans on a woman's right to choose, on a woman's right to her own body. We've seen the reports of low birthrates (even though that has literally nothing to do with abortion) and are becoming increasingly aware that women are going to be forced to carry soon.
This book is necessary for every woman, but moreso for those who are pro-choice. It ships quickly and is more useful than I previously knew. Everything you could need to know about how to protect yourself is here. Get your copy.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2021I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to see that women receive the reproductive care we need despite what our government takes away from us.
A lot of the information I already knew, but there is also a lot of valuable information I didn't know and I'm glad I have this resource.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2019I wish we lived in a world where we didn’t need this handbook, but for now, we absolutely do. This book is one of the most comprehensive and easy-to-read collections of information concerning abortion, abortion laws, and abortion resources. Buy one for yourself, then more for all the folks you care about in your life. There’s no doubt this book will save lives. Arm yourself and those you care about with the knowledge and power contained in these pages, and say it with me: ABORTION IS NORMAL.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022This book has all the information needed for times like these. It’s a quick read, took me an afternoon. Not helpful for people outside of the US
- Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2022I bought two copies of this edition and immediately donated themto my local library. I hope they are helpful.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2022This book explains many things with politics that I did not understand and is extremely relevant to the current times
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2019My great granddaughter is in first grade, but I'm buying this to protect her once she hits puberty. My mother and grandmother believed pregnancy was the appropriate punishment for sex outside of marriage (as if married women always wanted every pregnancy they were forced to endured).
I won't make the same mistake with my girls!! We are NOT going back to the bad old days of coathangers and lye, damn it.
