On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned, after nearly 50 years, the constitutional right of women and of all menstruating people in the U.S. to receive abortion care.
Two new books by regional authors were recently released that can help us to better understand what the right to abortion means: Curtis Boyd and Glenna Halvorson-Boyd are abortion-care providers from Texas and New Mexico who have a residence in Santa Fe; Pam Houston is a Colorado-based author and memoirist whose reproductive years began and ended with Roe.

Based in Colorado, Pam Houston is a writer of short stories, novels, and essays and a creative writing teacher at the Institute of American Indian Arts. Her new book, Without Exception, walks readers through the author’s thoughts on what access to abortion means.
