Wade\u003c\/i\u003e, and the life-threatening consequences of being denied reproductive freedom. - \"An absolute must-read; tell your friends; buy it for your family; sit with it on your own. This is storytelling we need.\" --Rebecca Traister, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eGood and Mad \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAll the Single Ladies\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn June 24, 2022, \u003ci\u003eRoe v. Wade\u003c\/i\u003e was overturned, and the impact was immediate: by 2023, 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\u003eA 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSHEFALI LUTHRA\u003c\/b\u003e has covered national health policy for the past decade, most recently at \u003ci\u003eThe 19th\u003c\/i\u003e.
