Thank you @amylittlefield.bsky.social for.such an interesting conversation about the impact of Dobbs.

Amy Littlefield @amylittlefield.bsky.social · Jun 9

There are two ways to summarize the three years since Dobbs.

One is a story of unmistakable tragedy.

The other, less discussed, is one of staggering triumph.

I talked with @carolejoffe.bsky.social and @dsc250.bsky.social about their book After Dobbs:

AP's reporting on GA may confuse readers. It says pro-lifers are divided on personhood bills. That's true of bills authorizing punishment of women but NOT of the idea of personhood, which is what is driving events in Georgia. This isn't an outlier.

“People who don’t want to be pregnant will always search for abortion. This is a historical constant across societies.” — @carolejoffe.bsky.social #ReproJustice @motherjones.com

Abortions are rising—even after Dobbs. A new book explains why.

“It's a story of resistance and resilience and hope."

The interview subjects go by their real names in @carolejoffe.bsky.social and @dsc250.bsky.social’s AFTER DOBBS instead of going by pseudonyms. Given the crisis, they want people to know the effect of Dobbs and how to mitigate the effects of Dobbs. #ReproJustice
