They are going to kill people, investigative reporter for The Nation Amy Littlefield knew, when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. As a journalist covering abortion for a decade, she had already chronicled many near-death experiences caused by anti-abortion policy. After the staggering demise of the constitutional right to abortion, Littlefield wanted to understand the hidden architects of this once-in-a-lifetime victory, and the motives, means, and opportunities that allowed them to succeed. So she set out to investigate the murderers of Roe.
Killers of Roe chronicles Littlefield’s journey into the unexplored corners of the most successful social movement of our time. As in every good murder mystery, the killers turn out to be the people you least suspect, from the disgraced former Congressman obsessed with offshore tax avoidance to the retired grandfather who wrote one of America’s most diabolical anti-abortion policies. Plot twists lurk around every corner, as Littlefield meets believers, opportunists, and complicated heroes, from the first Black woman to lead Planned Parenthood to the former Senator who kept kissing women against their will. Along the way, she encounters surprising characters who shed light on how we got to this moment of authoritarian rule: from the former fetus thief standing trial in Michigan, to the anti-abortion militant turned long-shot presidential candidate, to the pro-choice superfans at the Reagan library. Throughout the book, Littlefield draws upon the stories of women who have died from anti-abortion policies and on her own experience as a mother to reveal the life-and-death stakes of America’s abortion wars.
At once clever and poignant reportage, this abortion whodunnit uncovers the deeper story of how we lost Roe—and how we will win back so much more.
