A sweeping narrative history of abortion rights in America — from whispered remedies and underground networks to the legal battles, activists, and political forces that shaped modern reproductive freedom.
For more than a century, the fight for abortion access has been told in fragments — court cases, headlines, protests, and political battles that rarely capture the human story underneath. Given No Choice brings those pieces together. Drawing on archival research, rare interviews, oral histories, legislative transcripts, and firsthand accounts, Cody McDevitt weaves an urgent, intimate, and deeply human history of how abortion rights were won, lost, and defended across generations.
From midwives and discreet physicians operating in the shadows, to the women forced into dangerous decisions, to the organizers and attorneys who risked livelihoods to challenge the law, this book lays bare the truth: abortion in America has never been just a medical issue — it has always been a struggle for autonomy, dignity, and power.
Inside this groundbreaking book, readers will discover:
The hidden networks that allowed women to access abortions long before Roe v. Wade
How politicians, judges, and religious movements reshaped reproductive law
The real stories of women harmed — and sometimes saved — by the choices available to them
The rise of the anti-abortion movement and the strategies it still uses today
Exclusive interviews with doctors, activists, and legal experts who witnessed the fight firsthand
What the post-Roe landscape reveals about the future of reproductive freedom
Blending investigative journalism with narrative nonfiction, Given No Choice offers a definitive, unflinching account of one of the most consequential civil rights battles of our time.
A vital book for anyone who wants to understand how we got here — and what comes next.
Perfect for readers of Reproductive Rights Today, The Family Roe, After Roe, and The New Handbook for a Post-Roe America, this book is both a historical document and a call to remain vigilant as the future of bodily autonomy hangs in the balance.
