Red Clocks by Leni Zumas

4.0

---

A little close to the bone at the moment. Abortion is illegal and two parents are needed to raise a child, but the world soldiers on. (What I mean is, it is amazing what you can adapt to and in this world the women have adapted.) Not sci fi, but a depiction of what we are likely to encounter—a pink wall keeping women out of Canada, illegal abortions from former planned parenthood doctors (planned parenthood outlawed),, and the prosecution of perceived abortionists. But oddly enough, this book has humorous/wry/funny bits, too.
