I think this is an incredibly well researched and and equally well written book. It is very easy to follow, even for readers that are not american citizens and therefore not adequately aware of the american reality; for which the more I read about the more I wonder how americans claim to be this "great democracy". The way I understand it, it's the land of the free, if you are a white, christian man. 
I am really impressed with the work done for this book, I take my hat off to all the pro choice activists and abortion and reproductive healthcare providers for all the immensely hard work they do and I am extremely frustrated that that in 2023, a fetus is more important than the life and wellbeing of a pregnant person. 
I am disgusted by the anti-abortion movement and all they do to terrorise people that need health care and people that provide that care. At the end of the day, if you are against abortion, then don't have one, but keep your hands off my uterus. 
Last but not least, I am glad the author didn't choose to hide the dirty past (and present) of white feminism under the rug.
