Wade \u003c\/i\u003ewas overturned, and the impact was immediate: by 2024, abortion was virtually unavailable or significantly restricted in 21 states. In \u003ci\u003eUndue Burden\u003c\/i\u003e, reporter Shefali Luthra traces the unforgettable stories of patients faced with one of the most personal decisions of their lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOutside of Houston, there's a 16-year-old girl who becomes pregnant well before she intends to. A 21-year-old mother barely making ends meet has to travel hundreds of miles in secret for medical treatment in another state. A 42-year-old woman with a life-threatening condition wants nothing more than to safely carry her pregnancy to term, but her home state's abortion ban fails to provide her with the options she needs to make an informed decision. And a 19-year-old trans man struggles to access care in Florida as abortion bans radiate across the American South. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBefore \u003ci\u003eDobbs\u003c\/i\u003e, it was a common misconception that abortion restrictions affected only people in certain states but left one's own life untouched. Since the fall of \u003ci\u003eRoe\u003c\/i\u003e, a domino effect has cascaded across the entire country. As the landscape of abortion rights continues to shift, the experiences of these patients--who crossed state lines to seek life-saving care, who risked everything in pursuit of their own bodily autonomy, and who were unable to plan their reproductive future in the way they deserved--illustrate how fragile the system is, and how devastating the consequences can be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A revelatory portrait of inequality in America, \u003ci\u003eUndue Burden\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shefali Luthra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Doubleday Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.22w x 1.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385550086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2024 pg. 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSHEFALI LUTHRA \u003c\/b\u003ehas covered national health policy for the past decade, most recently at \u003ci\u003eThe 19th\u003c\/i\u003e.
