Unmasking the systemic violence behind the overturning of Roe v. Wade
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the horrors inflicted by abortion bans began immediately and haven't stopped. These laws have become a tool for abusers, as pregnant people face legal harassment, reproductive coercion, and life-threatening medical trauma.



Through biting analysis, Kylie Cheung argues that these aren’t unintended consequences, but deliberate acts of state-perpetrated violence inflicted on women and pregnant people, particularly those with the least resources and agency under capitalism and white supremacy.



Capitalism has always consciously decided whose lives are expendable. This book is for everyone coming to terms with this fact in the era of the rollback of our bodily autonomy.

Kylie Cheung is a staff writer at Jezebel, where she reports extensively on reproductive rights and gender-based violence. She is the author of Survivor Injustice: State-Sanctioned Abuse, Domestic Violence, and the Fight for Bodily Autonomy. Her work has been published in Salon, Teen Vogue, Guardian and Ms. Magazine. She lives in Brooklyn.
