Rankin’s book is a searing history of the people who have made abortion access possible for decades—not legislators and doctors, but everyday people willing to put their bodies on the line outside abortion clinics and support patients through ongoing, terrifying threats. Rankin interviews the family and friends of clinic volunteers and abortion providers who have lost their lives to anti-abortion violence; she speaks to abortion clinic volunteers whose clinics have been burned to the ground, who have been assaulted, trampled, and nearly run over by anti-abortion activists. And even though her book came out months before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, Bodies On the Line is clear-eyed about the future of abortion access, and what we will have to do for abortion access even when physical abortion clinics are gone. –Kylie Cheung
