Red Clocks
by Leni Zumas
This book is extremely scary, given the funding that's just been pulled from Planned Parenthood this week. It describes a future where women's reproductive rights are limited; no abortions, no adoptions except by two parent families, no IVF. I was a little worried the author was going to make a pro-life statement at one point; it seemed to be moving in the direction that "all babies are wanted by someone", but I think ultimately the book just paints a picture of a future where women don't get to choose if they do / don't want children. The mother's storyline wasn't as strong to me, since she isn't really affected by the new world order. Her story could have happened today, or 10 years ago. Not sure why it was included, except maybe to point out the hypocrisy of a woman being able to make a choice to be a single mother after the fact, whereas a single mother can't adopt.
