This is a deeply important book that sheds light on an aspect of reproductive justice that has received relatively little attention: the loss of wanted pregnancies. With humour and sensitivity, the authors explore how Americans have historically viewed miscarriages and the wrong footed ways in which society responds to them. It also sheds light on the very thin line between miscarriage and abortion (for instance, the deliberate early induction of a terminally ill fetus is not easily categorized) and the harmful impact that rigid abortion laws have on miscarriage care. I loved that the authors included the experiences of women of colour and nonbinary and trans pregnant people, and explored the unique ways pregnancy loss impacts these groups. This book gave me, someone who has never been pregnant, some much-needed understanding of these issues and why they are important. This is such a crucial read.
