À propos de cet audio

In this thought-provoking short, #1 New York Times best-selling and award-winning author Jodi Picoult explores a dystopian crisis through the pinhole lens of an ex-couple experiencing an unwanted pregnancy.

Please note: This content is intended for adults only. It features themes of pregnancy loss that may be upsetting to some listeners. Discretion is advised.

Margot and James are broken up—for good this time. James made sure of it when he dropped the bomb on Margot: that he doesn’t want kids, ever.

Then, on the biggest morning of his life, James—an ambitious lawyer at a high-powered firm—wakes up pregnant. He realizes with dread that he is part of a recent epidemic of men suddenly and inexplicably becoming pregnant. His condition obvious to the higher-ups, James is denied the promotion he was expecting, sending him reeling.

Meanwhile, Margot, a social worker, must handle the influx of desperate, pregnant teenage boys suddenly seeking her help. When she receives a call from James with the same problem, the challenge of navigating post-Roe America hits even closer to home.

I loved this! Too bad it's fiction. I would hope this pt of view would influence some ideas about abortion but I am a realist, and sad for the fortune of pregnant women in the US

This was written for a purpose other than entertainment and so might seem a little too obviously pointed at times. I come from a complicated point of view as a woman who believes in the right to an abortion, while genuinely believing that a child is being killed. I see that choice as a momentous decision not to be entered on lightly. So while I can see what a shocker the physical changes would be in the circumstances, I don’t consider discomforts a huge deal. Picoult goes well beyond that, so keep reading. If those involved in the decision-making process gave the issues presented the attention and consideration deserved, recognizing how different their views would be in changed circumstances Roe would not have been overturned. That willful blindness may not actually lead to male pregnancies, but any true Christian should be asking themselves how they will account to God for their lack of empathy and love.

A real eye-opener touching on a variety of significant issues

Short little story about when the unexpected happens. Shoe on the other foot, changes would happen then.

That would be something!

Finally! Putting it in terms that any human can understand. Making cis men understand the cost. Our bodies. Our choice.

Brilliant! Should be mandatory to listen to/read in schools

This topsy turvy perspective of women’s reality puts the patriarchy in its rightful place. I wish everyone could read this!
