Duffy's theoretical positioning on trails urges the reader to understand their complexity beyond the infrastructure of how abortion trails operate and to examine the context in which they exist, the narrative framings that they represent, and their distinguishable political praxis. The book challenges the reader to consider the tension between state-sanctioned care, and its stagnant nature, and the agile, fluidity of abortion care outside of this, often provided within abortion trails and the political meanings tied into this tension about what abortion care is and should be as centred within a feminist praxis.

The book is essential reading for those interested in abortion politics, reproductive justice and abortion care. It urges us to examine the positioning of abortion care and the unique place that abortion trails hold in providing abortion care that centres bodily autonomy.

In this thought-provoking book, Deirdre Duffy explores the concept of abortion trail activism as a vibrant poetic, conceptual, and political gateway, offering a fresh perspective on global efforts for reproductive autonomy and justice. Through meticulous and compelling analysis, diverse collective initiatives from different regions of the world converge as part of a distinctive feminist political praxis that is transforming pro-choice imagination and action.

A creative work of academic scholarship in its contribution of the 'trail,' a concept by which Duffy theorizes a changing field of abortion activism and invites us to follow along with every turn of its politics.

Duffy provides a fascinating and original contribution to one of the most pressing issues in politics. A must read for anyone who cares about reproductive rights.
