Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Roe v. Wade ruling made it legal for a person to obtain an abortion until the point of fetal viability, which was assumed to be at around twenty-eight weeks’ gestation. But state and federal legislators quickly began restricting abortion access, and the biggest impact was on poor people of color.
#2 The Supreme Court decided in 1992 that states cannot outright ban abortion, but they can put laws in place if those laws are meant to protect the health and well-being of the person trying to end the pregnancy.
#3 The Right wants to bring at least one of these model bills to the Supreme Court in order to overturn Roe v. Wade and let states make abortion illegal within their borders.
#4 If a federal twenty-week abortion ban is passed and signed into law, it will be sent to the Supreme Court for review if anyone chooses to challenge it. If the court rules that abortion legality should be left to the states, this ends Roe and allows the trigger laws to go into effect, allowing total bans in other states.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The Roe v. Wade ruling made it legal for a person to obtain an abortion until the point of fetal viability, which was assumed to be at around twenty-eight weeks’ gestation. But state and federal legislators quickly began restricting abortion access, and the biggest impact was on poor people of color.

#2

The Supreme Court decided in 1992 that states cannot outright ban abortion, but they can put laws in place if those laws are meant to protect the health and well-being of the person trying to end the pregnancy.

#3

The Right wants to bring at least one of these model bills to the Supreme Court in order to overturn Roe v. Wade and let states make abortion illegal within their borders.

#4

If a federal twenty-week abortion ban is passed and signed into law, it will be sent to the Supreme Court for review if anyone chooses to challenge it. If the court rules that abortion legality should be left to the states, this ends Roe and allows the trigger laws to go into effect, allowing total bans in other states.

#5

Amy Coney Barrett replaced Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, and in June v. Russo, the court upheld a state’s right to require abortion clinics to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. But in Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt, the court ruled that a state cannot require abortion clinics to have admitting privileges.

#6

If abortion is made illegal in all but a few states, it will be even more difficult for those who need abortions to find them, as there will be far less clinics available.

#7

The argument that banning abortion will not affect those who can become pregnant because they can simply go to another country if they need an abortion is completely false. Immigrants, the poor, and those who are trying to hide their pregnancies from others will be forced to carry their pregnancies to term, regardless of the law.

#8

abortion is a very personal decision, and one that each person needs to think through for themselves. it is also a decision that may look different for each person depending on their circumstances.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

It is unlikely that abortion will be made illegal in the United States any time soon. What is likely is that a number of states will not have legal, accessible abortion anymore very soon, either because Roe is overturned and those states choose to make abortion illegal within their borders, or because Roe is left in place but is so decimated that those states can still close all of their clinics or place enough restrictions that an abortion is impossible to obtain.

#2

A map created by the University of California at San Francisco in 2018 supposedly showed the abortion deserts in the continental United States. However, if you take away the clinics in states that are likely to make abortion illegal, you are left with a map that shows the real impact of how few clinics would remain in certain areas.

#3

Missouri literally wrote the law when it comes to ending abortion if the Supreme Court overturns Roe. The state passed a heartbeat ban in 2019, and also holds the dubious honor of being the only state without an acting abortion provider due to state restrictions.

#4

If Roe falls in Utah, the state will have a statutory ban even more explicit than its current pre-Roe law.
