The first 200 people to arrive received a free copy of Shout Your Abortion.
Shout Your Abortion is “a collection of photos, essays, and creative work inspired by the movement of the same name.”
The authors argue that a stronger approach to abortion access is necessary in the wake of Roe v. Wade’s overturn last June.
“Following the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, the act of shouting one’s abortion has become explicitly radical,” the description reads. “Shout Your Abortion is needed more urgently than ever before.”
The Shout Your Abortion organization describes its mission as “normalizing abortion and elevating safe paths to access, regardless of legality.”

The second book “is a unique coming-of-age tale told by a self-described dyslexic-asexual-lesbian-feminist teenager,” the description reads.
My Mom Had An Abortion follows protagonist Beezus B. Murphy “as she chronicles her evolving understanding of menstruation, reproduction, and abortion and finds her place in a confusing world.”
