Overview
Ā
In this powerful, empathetic look at abortion clinic escorting, āone of the most under-covered and crucial, lifesaving, rigorous forms of activism out thereā (Rebecca Traister), Lauren Rankin offers real hopeāand a real call to action for a post-Roe America.
Ā
Incisive and eye-opening, Bodies on the Line makes a clear case that the right to an abortion is a fundamental part of human dignity. And now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v Wade, the stakes facing us all if that right disappears have never been higher.
Clinic escortsāeveryday volunteers who shepherd patients safely inside to receive careāare 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 liveāand have even diedāto ensure that abortion remains not only accessible but a basic human right. Their stories have never been toldāuntil 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. Deeply researched, featuring interviews with clinic staff, patients, experts, and activistsāplus the authorās own experience as a clinic escortāBodies on the Line reframes the āabortion wars,ā highlighting the power of people to effect change amid unimaginable obstacles, and the unprecedented urgency of channeling that power.
