CRITICS REVIEWS

“
IndieWireDavid Ehrlich
“Ultimately, Reversing Roe is a productive contribution to its ever-growing genre because it sharply dissects the process by which abortion soured from a private medical issue to a public political one.”

“
The New York TimesBen Kenigsberg
“It’s less interested in rendering a verdict on the morality of abortion than it is in tracing the increasing politicization of the issue.”

“
The Hollywood ReporterCaryn James
“”

solid, straightforward history of abortion rights in America."]

“
Los Angeles TimesRobert Abele
“The takeaway of Reversing Roe is that Stern and Sundberg are issuing a warning, one backed by a grim timeline, forcefully presented, that makes it all too clear what’s at stake if a landmark ruling on women’s rights is overturned.”
