Fighting Mad

"The never-ending fight to protect the human right to abortion has not previously been covered by such a wide-ranging and inclusive perspective as in this outstanding anthology. Fighting Mad should be required reading for everyone who cares about the health of our democracy and reproductive justice."—Loretta Ross, 2022 MacArthur Fellow and coauthor of Reproductive Justice: An Introduction

"Fighting Mad compiles the voices of those who emphatically deny that the state legislators who rushed to criminalize abortion in the wake of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision will have the last word on whether people will be forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term. In this way, the book is incredibly hopeful, assembling and displaying the work of people who are using their hands and hearts to bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice."—Khiara M. Bridges, Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley

"Fighting Mad is a much-needed antidote to apathy. Its short and engaging stories of leadership, activism, and creativity provide proof that Dobbs will not be the last word on abortion in the United States."—Lynn M. Paltrow, Founder, Pregnancy Justice

"The essays in this extraordinary collection illuminate both the barriers to reproductive autonomy and the expansive reimagining required to move us toward justice. This work lifts up so many perspectives that have not been central to the public discussion on abortion access, but should be."—Mia Kim Sullivan, Executive Director, Collective Power for Reproductive Justice
