Описание: In From Back Alley to the Border, Alicia Gutierrez-Romine examines the history of criminal abortion in California and the role abortion providers played in exposing and exploiting the faults in California’s anti-abortion statute throughout the twentieth century. Focused on the patients who used this underground network and the physicians who facilitated it, Gutierrez-Romine provides insight into the world of illegal abortion from the 1920s through the 1960s, including regular physicians as well as women and African American abortionists, and the investigations, scandals, and trials that surrounded them.
During the 1930s the Pacific Coast Abortion Ring, a large, coast-wide, and comparatively safe abortion syndicate, became the target of law enforcement agencies, forcing those needing abortions across the border into Mexico and ushering in an era of Tijuana “abortion tourism” in the early 1950s. The movement south of the border ultimately compelled the California Supreme Court to rule its abortion statute “void for vagueness” in People v. Belous in 1969—four years before Roe v. Wade.
Gutierrez-Romine presents the first book focused on abortion on the West Coast and the U.S.-Mexico border and provides a new approach to studying how providers of illegal abortions and their clients navigated this underground network. In the post-Dobbs moment, this paperback edition of From Back Alley to the Border features a new afterword by the author and shows us how little we have learned from history.

Описание: "Rivers of Ice" by Bill Alley is a true story about the Alaska Yakutat Bay Expedition of 1906. The author was fortunate to have notes and photographs from one of the explorers, Bill Thompson, who happens to be the author's grandfather. Mr. Alley has given us a detailed description of Alaska's Yakutat and Disenchantment Bay as they were seen in 1906. When reading this great tale of hardships and difficulties in the new land, you feel like you are there with the team and walking the routes for the first time just as they had. You don't feel like this is a history lesson but a tale well told. I definitely recommend reading "Rivers of Ice" if you enjoy adventure and historical stories. This will hold your attention from beginning to end.

Описание: This provocative and wide-ranging study revises and refreshes our understanding of noir`s characters, themes, and cultural significance.
It seems unthinkable that citizens of one of the most powerful nations in the world must risk their lives and livelihoods in the search for access to necessary health care. And yet it is no surprise that in many places throughout the United States, getting an abortion can be a monumental challenge. Anti-choice politicians and activists have worked tirelessly to impose needless restrictions on this straightforward medical procedure that at best, delay it, and at worst, create medical risks and deny women their constitutionally protected right to choose.
Obstacle Course tells this story of abortion in America, capturing a disturbing reality of sometimes insurmountable barriers put in front of women trying to exercise their legal rights to medical services. Authors David S. Cohen and Carol Joffe lay bare the excruciating and often life-threatening process of terminating a pregnancy in the United States: the arbitrary waiting periods, forced ultrasounds, dishonest and malicious medical information, exorbitant financial burdens, and public shame.
Based on interviews with abortion providers and allies covering every state across the country, and the stories of patients, Obstacle Course reveals the unstoppable determination required of women in the pursuit of reproductive autonomy as well as the incredible commitment of abortion providers to make this a reality. Without the efforts of an unheralded army of doctors, nurses, social workers, activists, and volunteers, what is a legal right would be meaningless for the almost one million people per year who get abortions. There is a better way--treating abortion like any other form of health care--but the United States is a long way from that ideal.
