Women v. The World: The Conservative Attack on Reproductive Rights
This is a climate openly opposed to the progress women have made. This is an assault on our bodies: a doctor may conscientiously object to providing an abortion, but not conscientiously object in any other medical procedure. This is an assault on our sexuality: the original draft of one federal bill sought to deny federal funds for abortions of rape victims who were not “forcibly” raped, but raped nonetheless. This is an assault to our integrity: one Georgia bill seeks to redefine victims in rape, stalking and domestic violence cases as “accusers”. This is an assault on our intelligence: women find themselves forced to go through “abortion education,” waiting 24 hours, and “thinking” deeply on their personal decision to abort because women just aren’t seen as intellectually capable of deciding what is best for their bodies, their families, and themselves without government intervention.
Green Is the New Red
Brilliantly written, meticulously accurate, and deeply emotional, Green Is the New Red: An Insider’s Account of A Social Movement Under Siege is a collection of intimately personal stories of activists that every-day Americans need to hear, without these accounts the draconian chapters in U.S. history filled with senate hearings and blacklists are doomed to repeat themselves …repetitions like these, we as a nation cannot afford.
