Mother Jones - July/August 2022

Bu konuda

Having a baby is a joy for many families, but pregnancy is also a risky condition for women. With the Supreme Court’s conservative majority expected to overturn the constitutional right to abortion care, Mother Jones editors observe, in “The Right’s Way,” that Roe’s fall is just the beginning. Amy Littlefield profiles the man behind the Texas abortion ban who has an even more radical plan to reshape American law in “The Anti-Abortion Architect.” If abortion is illegal, will every pregnancy lost be a potential crime? This nightmare is explored in “Miscarriage of Justice” by Cecilia Nowell. Forced to give birth, prosecuted for miscarriages, then policed for raising kids? Researcher, Dorothy E. Roberts argues that child protective services needs to be abolished in “Torn Apart.” And Tom Philpott looks at a well-tested method for staving off world hunger. Read on to learn who is trapped inside an “echo chamber,” and discover the teenage novelist who used Oakland’s police sex trafficking scandal as inspiration.
