{"product_id":"no-real-choice-katrina-kimport-9781978817913","title":"No Real Choice: How Culture and Politics Matter for Reproductive Autonomy","description":"In the United States, the \"right to choose\" an abortion is the law of the land. But what if a woman continues her pregnancy because she didn't really have a choice? What if state laws, federal policies, stigma, and a host of other obstacles push that choice out of her reach? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Based on candid, in-depth interviews with women who considered but did not obtain an abortion, \u003ci\u003eNo Real Choice \u003c\/i\u003epunctures the myth that American women have full autonomy over their reproductive choices. Focusing on the experiences of a predominantly Black and low-income group of women, sociologist Katrina Kimport finds that structural, cultural, and experiential factors can make choosing abortion impossible-especially for those who experience racism and class discrimination. From these conversations, we see the obstacles to \"choice\" these women face, such as bans on public insurance coverage of abortion and rampant antiabortion claims that abortion is harmful. Kimport's interviews reveal that even as activists fight to preserve \u003ci\u003eRoe v. Wade\u003c\/i\u003e, class and racial disparities have already curtailed many women's freedom of choice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNo Real Choice \u003c\/i\u003eanalyzes both the structural obstacles to abortion and the cultural ideologies that try to persuade women not to choose abortion.
