KILLERS OF ROE by
⁣
"They are going to kill people," investigative reporter for The Nation Amy Littlefield knew, when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. After a decade covering abortion, she wanted to more deeply understand the motives, means, and opportunities behind the anti-abortion movement’s victory. So she set out to investigate the murderers of Roe.

The result is at once clever and poignant reportage, this abortion whodunit uncovers the deeper story of how we lost Roe—and how we will win back so much more.

Roderick Sewell's mother, Marian, made some incredibly tough decisions and sacrifices to make sure Roderick, a bilateral above-the-knee amputee, could get the health care he needed. On the backs of those choices, Roderick would later become IRONMAN World Championship and represent Team USA as a swimmer.
