Ejaculate responsibly : the conversation we need to have about men and contraception / Gabrielle Stanley Blair.

In a series of brief arguments reframing the abortion issue, Gabrielle Blair deftly makes the case for moving the abortion debate away from controlling and legislating women's bodies and instead directs the focus on men's lack of accountability in preventing unwanted pregnancies.

No choice : the fall of Roe v. Wade and the fight to protect the right to abortion / Becca Andrews.

On the evening of 2nd May this year, a 98-page draft memo was leaked that suggested the US Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that enshrined constitutional protections for women seeking abortion. If that happens, abortion will instantly become illegal in 22 US states. In 'No Choice', journalist Becca Andrews examines how we have come to this position, where women's self-determination is growing stronger, yet we are being denied the fundamental right to control over our own bodies.

A spark of light [electronic resource] / Jodi Picoult ; read by Bahni Turpin.

The Center for women's reproductive health offers a last chance at hope - but nobody ends up there by choice. Its very existence is controversial, and to the demonstrators who barricade the building every day, the service it offers is no different from legalised murder. Now life and death decisions are being made horrifyingly real: a lone protester with a gun has taken the staff, patients and visitors hostage. Starting at the tensest moment in the negotiations for their release, A Spark of Light unravels backwards, revealing hour by urgent hour what brought each of these people - the gunman, the negotiator, the doctors, nurses and women who have come to them for treatment - to this point. And certainties unwind as truths and secrets are peeled away, revealing the complexity of balancing the right to life with the right to choose.
