Generation Roe : inside the future of the p… door Sarah Erdreich
This is an interesting book, especially when Erdreich tells the stories of women (and occasionally men) involved in the Pro-Choice Movement, but not nearly as memorable as The Girls Who Went Away: The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades before Roe v. Wade by Ann Fessler, to which she refers several times. Erdreich covers various aspects of the Pro-Choice Movement, and in one chapter compares it to the LGBT movement, which has been more successful recently. In the final chapter, she points out that there are disagreements among Pro-Choice activists about what to stress (such as the legislative/court emphasis versus working to make abortions more accessible to poor women who need to travel great distances and don't have the necessary monetary or transportation resources) and what forms activism should take. Moreover, some of the older established organizations are rather rigid and not adaptable to new ways of doing things. Erdreich also examines the Pro-Life Movement (which she believes should be called the Anti-Choice Movement), and points out how it is successful even though it distributes false "information", etc.

Includes brief annotated lists of organizations, books, films, and blogs and also endnotes, but does not include an index.… (meer)
