As the Supreme Court is set to overturn the landmark decision that legalized abortion nationwide, this urgent, controversial book reframes abortion as a common part of a woman's reproductive life, one that should be accepted as a moral right with positive social implications.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNearly fifty years after the \u003ci\u003eRoe v. Wade\u003c\/i\u003e ruling, Abortion is still a word that is said with outright hostility by many, despite the fact that one in three American women will have terminated at least one pregnancy by menopause. Even those who support a woman's right to an abortion often qualify their support by saying abortion is a bad thing, an agonizing decision, making the medical procedure so remote and radioactive that it takes it out of the world of the everyday, turning an act that is normal and necessary into something shameful and secretive. Meanwhile, the rights once upheld by the Supreme Court are threatened to be repudiated and systematically eroded by state laws designed to end abortion outright. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePro \u003c\/i\u003ereaffirms the priority of a woman's life and health, and discusses why terminating a pregnancy can be a force for good for women, families, and society. It is time, Pollitt argues, that we reclaim the lives and the rights of women and mothers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A refreshing and comprehensive look at abortion rights...\u003ci\u003ePro\u003c\/i\u003e is a passionate plea--and a book that is needed now more than ever.\" --\u003ci\u003eSalon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Ultimately, Pollitt is arguing not just for reproductive rights but for reproductive justice, which places the right to mother, or not, within the global context of human rights and social and economic justice, inextricable from the fight for universal health insurance, immigration reform and a host of social challenges.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Chicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatha Pollitt\u003c\/b\u003e, the author of\u003ci\u003e Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Right\u003c\/i\u003es and \u003ci\u003eVirginity or Death!\u003c\/i\u003e, is a poet, essayist, and columnist for \u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e.
