Synopsis
THE INSPIRING, ON-THE-GROUND STORY OF THE RISING GRASSROOTS LEADERS IN THE ABORTION RIGHTS MOVEMENT DURING THE PIVOTAL FIRST YEAR AFTER DOBBS
When the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion care by way of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the country was thrown into chaos. Abortion providers and their patients faced sudden closures, new restrictions, and rapidly changing rules as nearly half of the states moved quickly to ban or severely curtail abortion access. Against this backdrop, an army of healthcare providers, lawyers, activists, and everyday people mobilised to protect what a majority of Americans want: legal abortion.
In You Must Stand Up, veteran political correspondent and Nieman Fellow Amanda Becker provides a real-time portrait of the creative resistance that unfolded in America’s first year without the protections of Roe v. Wade. Amid daily shifts in healthcare access, new legal battles coming before partisan courts, and up-for-grabs state constitutions, Becker follows the leaders figuring out how to best meet these challenges: doctors and staffers turning to new financial and medical models to remain open and provide abortions; volunteers campaigning against anti-abortion ballot initiatives; and medical students fighting to learn to provide what can be lifesaving care.
In depicting the splintered reality of post-Dobbs America, and in revealing the creative strategies Americans have developed at every level to protect their constitutional rights, for oneself and for each other, Becker ultimately shows how outrage can beget hope, and give rise to a new movement.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A stunning portrait of a country in historic upheaval in the aftermath of the overturning of Roe vs Wade. When the Supreme Court decided Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overturning the constitutional right to abortion care the country was thrown into chaos. Abortion providers and their patients faced sudden closures, new restrictions, and rapidly changing rules as nearly half of the states moved quickly to ban or severely curtail abortion access. Against this backdrop, an army of health care providers, lawyers, activists and everyday people mobilized to protect what a majority of Americans want: legal abortion. In You Must Stand Up, Nieman Fellow Amanda Becker provides a real-time portrait of the creative resistance that unfolded in America's first year without the protections of Roe v. Wade. At a moment when healthcare access shifts daily, new legal battles are argued before partisan courts, and state constitutions are re-interpreted or amended, Becker traces the story of the people rising to meet these new challenges doctors and staffers turning to new financial and medical models to remain open and provide abortions, volunteers campaigning against anti-abortion ballot initiatives, and medical students fighting to learn to provide what can be life-saving care. By depicting the splintered reality of post-Dobbs America, and by capturing how the decision fuelled Americans to think in new ways about how to best protect their constitutional rights, Becker ultimately shows how outrage can beget hope, and give rise to a new movement.
