Author Event: Sarah Erdeich with ‘Generation Roe’
Meet author, activist and Ann Arbor native Sarah Erdreich at Nicola’s Books for a discussion of her first book, ‘Generation Roe: Inside the Future of the Pro-Choice Movement’. Inextricably connected to issues of autonomy, privacy, and sexuality, the abortion debate remains home base for the culture wars in America. Yet, there is more common ground than meets the eye in favor of choice. Her book tells the stories of those who risk their lives to pursue careers in this stigmatized field. Itoutlines the outrageous legislative battles that are being waged against abortion rights all over the country. With an inspiring spirit and a forward-looking approach, Erdreich holds abortion up, unabashedly, as a moral and fundamental human right.
