When Roe Fell

When Roe Fell examines the history, politics, and practical experiences of abortion leading up to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, placing this judicial decision in a longer history of abortion in the United States. Contributors delve into what the end of Roe revealed about abortion seekers, abortion provision, and abortion advocacy, demystifying abortion and abortion research, laying bare common misunderstandings and misinformation, and belying claims that the fall of Roe "changed everything.” Moving beyond legal frameworks, this volume is an opportunity to reorient scholarship and understanding about abortion, recognizing what was already true before Roe was overturned and how losing the protections of Roe forced, enabled, and perhaps even facilitated a new era of abortion.
