- BODIES ON THE LINE is a narrative history of the practice of clinic escorting: of volunteers walking patients from their cars to the front doors of clinics in an effort to keep protestors away from them and have a friendly face with them as they arrive to their appointments.
- The book details wins and losses for abortion access since the 1970s as they relate to getting patients safely in and out of clinics, as well as the violence that has been directed at them and at providers.
- It paints a stark picture of what everyday life is at a clinic, along with the battles pregnant people go through to receive care.
- If you've wondered, in light of the overturning of Roe v Wade, how we found ourselves here, BODIES ON THE LINE lays out all the tactics opponents have employed to purposely bring us to this point.
