Excellent- More about No Real Choice: How Culture and Politics Matter for Reproductive Autonomy
The "right to choose" an abortion is the law of the land, but state laws, federal policies, stigma, and other obstacles can make it impossible for some women to obtain an abortion. No Real Choice, a book by sociologist Katrina Kimport, reveals that structural, cultural, and experiential factors can make choosing abortion impossible, especially for those who experience racism and class discrimination. The interviews show the obstacles to "choice" these women face, such as bans on public insurance coverage of abortion and rampant antiabortion claims.

The right to choose an abortion is the law of the land in the United States, but what if a woman continues her pregnancy due to lack of choice? What if state laws, federal policies, stigma, and a host of other obstacles push that choice out of her reach?
No Real Choice, a book based on candid, in-depth interviews with women who considered but did not obtain an abortion, punctures the myth that American women have full autonomy over their reproductive choices. Sociologist Katrina Kimport finds that structural, cultural, and experiential factors can make choosing abortion impossible, especially for those who experience racism and class discrimination. The interviews reveal 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 Roe v. Wade, class and racial disparities have already curtailed many women's freedom of choice. No Real Choice analyzes both the structural obstacles to abortion and the cultural ideologies that try to persuade women not to choose abortion. Told with care and sensitivity, No Real Choice gives voice to women whose experiences are often overlooked in debates on abortion, illustrating how real reproductive choice is denied, for whom, and at what cost.
