This vivid account by a nationally prominent doctor reports the daily challenges of offering and receiving abortion services in a volatile political and social atmosphere. In stories from the front lines - from protecting patients and staff from protesters' attacks to the dangers to women of restricted access to abortion services, and the pertinent findings of his remote research in Latin America, Hern's book is strikingly detailed just as it exposes the needs of women and the U. S. national interest. Dr. Hern - an abortion specialist, researcher, scholar, and highly visible public advocate -shows how abortion saves women's lives given the many risks that arise during pregnancy - remarkably more than most people realize. He points to political and national solutions to reverse a reawakened crisis that now threatens democracy. Throughout the book, Dr. Hern shows how the current emergency was largely created by political actors who have exploited and distorted the abortion issue to increase and consolidate their power.
A vital component of women's health care, the crisis over abortion is not new. Yet the reversal of Roe v. Wade and the steady accumulation of power by America's right wing has put the issue at a level of urgency and national prominence not seen since the days before legalization. Women's need for safe abortion services will continue as the struggle to secure their rights intensifies. This book is about that struggle during what has evolved, over the last 50 years, to an Age of Unreason.
