HTML:<p><b>"The most important book in the lead up to this election." —Nicolle Wallace, MSNBC<br /> "As Dias and Lerer write, the fight against legal abortion is tied inextricably to the fight for America's soul." —<i>New York</i> magazine<br /> "A tour de force. However you read books, hardcover, ebook, audio... Just read it." —Alex Wagner on <i>Alex</i> <i>Wagner Tonight</i><br /> This program includes a bonus conversation with the authors, moderated by narrator Lipica Shah.<br /> From two top <i>New York Times</i> journalists, the breathtaking untold story of the plan to overturn <i>Roe v. Wade</i> and the consequences for women, abortion, and the future of America</b><br /> In June 2022, Americans watched in shock as the Supreme Court reversed one of the nation's landmark rulings. For nearly a half century, <i>Roe</i> was synonymous with women's rights and freedoms. Then, suddenly, it was gone.<br /> In their groundbreaking book <i>The Fall of Roe</i>, Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer reveal the explosive inside story of how it happened. Their investigation charts the shocking political and religious campaign to take down abortion rights and remake American families, womanhood, and the nation itself.<br /> Reeling from Barack Obama's 2012 landslide presidential victory – and motivated by a spiritual mission – a small but determined network of elite conservative Christian lawyers and powerbrokers worked quietly and methodically to keep their true cause alive: ending abortion rights. Thinking in generational terms, they devised a strategic, top-down takeover at every level of political and legal life, from little-known anti-abortion lobbyists in far flung statehouses to the arbiters of the constitution at the highest court in the land. Broad swaths of liberal America did not register the severity of the threat until it was far too late. At a moment when women had more power than ever before, the feminist movement suffered one of the greatest political defeats in American history.<br /> With stunning scope, journalistic rigor, and unprecedented access to the highest echelons of conservative and liberal power, Dias and Lerer chronicle the end of the Roe era. Their reporting stretches from inside abortion clinics to the halls of the White House, exposing powerful behind-the-scenes actors and recasting the actions of those already in the spotlight. The result is a sweeping and intimate narrative of secrets, power, jaw-dropping revelations, and a beacon to guide us forward.<br /> <b>A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.</b></p>.
