Killers of Roe

Amy Littlefield draws on years covering abortion to trace the individuals and strategies that produced the erosion and eventual reversal of Roe v.

Wade.

Framing the history as a murder mystery, she profiles little‑known architects of anti‑abortion policy and examines cases of women harmed or killed by restrictive laws.

The book interrogates compromises and strategic choices across the pro‑choice movement and exposes how long‑running policies like the Hyde Amendment persisted.

Littlefield reports from courtrooms, political events, and conservative organizing spaces, combining investigative reporting with personal reflection as a mother.

The narrative concludes by documenting grassroots efforts protecting and expanding reproductive freedom and proposing paths forward.
