Now abortion rights supporters are employing that argument to challenge one of the right’s most prized accomplishments: state bans on abortion.In the year since Roe v.

Sure, you could read advertising blurbs on Amazon, but wouldn’t you be more likely to believe a neighbor with no skin in the game over a corporation being fed words by publishers? So in this new series, we are sharing these mini-reviews with you. Have any to offer?
