Undue Burden: Life and Death Decisions in Post-Roe America by Shefali Luthra

2.0

2 stars//Audiobook//While I totally get what this book was trying to accomplish, I think it fell flat. First of all, a lot of what was talked about in this book is going to be common knowledge for those that are going to pick it up. If we're willingly reading a book about reproductive freedom, we already know the ways in which it's being challenged and the reasons someone may need to seek this care. The personal stories of those impacted by the Dobbs decision were heart-wrenching, but they were told in a disjointed way that made them all difficult to follow. I didn't feel like I came away from this book learning anything new or with any ideas of how I could help fight against this injustice... I just felt more hopeless about the state of reproductive freedom in America, especially now that we are once again living under a Trump regime. If you're looking to learn more about why access to abortion is important, then read this book. But if you already know, you can skip it.
