Coercion
Surviving and Resisting Abortion Bans
By Kylie Cheung
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the horrors inflicted by abortion bans began immediately and haven't stopped. These laws have become a tool for Christian nationalist abusers, as pregnant people face legal harassment, reproductive coercion, and life-threatening medical trauma.
Through biting analysis, Kylie Cheung argues that these aren't unintended consequences but deliberate acts of state-perpetrated violence inflicted on women and pregnant people, particularly those with the least resources and agency under capitalism and white supremacy.
Capitalism has always consciously decided whose lives are expendable. This book is for everyone coming to terms with this fact in the era of the rollback of our bodily autonomy.
