No More Compromise on Abortion
After years of retreat, we need to reject the approach of conservative NGOs and fight for abortion without apology.

Jenny Brown’s new book Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now, the latest in the Jacobin Series published by Verso, draws on decades of history and organizing experience to explain how we can win this fight over women’s reproductive labor.
Brown, also author of Birth Strike (PM Press, 2019), has organized with National Women’s Liberation, Gainesville Women’s Liberation and Redstockings. She spoke with Jacobin’s Liza Featherstone at New York’s Strand Bookstore on October 10. A Kickstarter to raise funds for the launch of Without Apology can be found here.
