 "Undue Burden: Life and Death Decisions in Post-Roe America"\n\nOn June 24, 
 2022, Roe v. Wade was overturned, and the impact was immediate: by 2023, 
 abortion was virtually unavailable or significantly restricted in 21 
 states. As other nations largely expand legal abortion access, the US has 
 gone backwards; the bans being enforced in many states are some of the most 
 severe in the entire world.\n\nIn Undue Burden, reporter Shefali Luthra 
 traces the stories of patients faced with a private decision about the body 
 made public by the body politic. Outside of Houston, there’s a 
 16-year-old girl who becomes pregnant well before she intends to. A 
 21-year-old mother barely making ends meet has to travel hundreds of miles 
 in secret to access care in another state. A 42-year-old woman with a 
 life-threatening condition wants nothing more than to safely carry her 
 pregnancy to term, but her home state’s abortion bans fail to provide her 
 with the options she needs to make an informed decision. And a 19-year-old 
 trans man struggles to access care in Florida as abortion bans radiate 
 across the American South.\n\nAs the landscape of abortion rights continues 
 to shift, the experiences of these patients illustrates how fragile the 
 system is, and how devastating the consequences can be. Through the 
 perspectives of patients, providers, activists, and lawmakers, Undue Burden 
 is a revelatory portrait of human rights, healthcare, and inequality in 
 America.\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\nShefali Luthra has covered national 
 health policy for the past decade, most recently at The 19th. Her coverage 
 of abortion rights has been cited in Congressional testimony and Supreme 
 Court briefings and in 2023 received an Online Journalism Award. Luthra’s 
 writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, on NPR, 
 and more. She lives in Washington, DC.\n
