at the frontlines of the fight to protect abortion in America

Summary

Abortion has been legal for nearly fifty years in the United States, but with a new conservative majority on the Supreme Court poised to overturn Roe vs. Wade and an emboldened opposition in the street, the threat to its existence has never been more pressing. Clinic escorts -- everyday volunteers who shepherd patients safely through the front doors to receive care -- are fighting on the front lines by replacing hostility with humanity. Prepared to stand up and protect abortion access as they have for decades, even in the face of terrorism and violence, clinic escorts live -- and have even died -- to ensure that abortion remains not only accessible but a basic human right. Their stories have never been told -- until now. With precision and passion, Lauren Rankin traces the history and evolution of this movement to tell a broader story of the persistent threats to safe and legal abortion access, and the power of individuals to stand up and fight back
