Unbecoming : a novel & self help guide / Seema Yasmin.
"When America bans all abortion and the fight for bodily autonomy is taken underground, Laylah and Noor want to be part of the resistance. After graduation, Laylah plans to become an OB-GYN, and Noor an investigative journalist. In the meantime, they're writing an essential guide to getting an abortion. It's illegal and dangerous. What else are two perfectly respectable Muslim teens supposed to do? But what if it's not that simple? What happens if the underground abortion network is corrupt? What happens when it gets harder and harder to get safe medications, supplies, or help? And what happens when the need gets much more personal?"-- Provided by publisher.

Working on an illegal guide to abortion in Texas for those in need in an America where abortions are prosecuted and the right to choose no longer exists, two best friends fight for what they believe in while one of them harbors a painful secret. Simultaneous eBook. - Simon and Schuster
Two Muslim teens in Texas fight for access to abortion while one harbors a painful secret in this near-future speculative novel âwith sparkling humor and warmthâ (Booklist, starred review) thatâs perfect for fans of Unpregnant.
In a not-too-distant America, abortions are prosecuted and the right to choose is no longer an option. But best friends Laylah and Noor want to change the world. After graduating high school, theyâll become an OBGYN and a journalist, but in the meantime, theyâre working on an illegal guide to abortion in Texas.
In response to the unfair laws, underground networks of clinics have sprung up, but the good fight has gotten even more precarious as it becomes harder to secure safe medication and supplies. Both Laylah and Noor are passionate about getting their guide completed so it can help those in need, but Laylah treats their project with an urgency Noor doesnât understandâthat may have something to do with the strange goings-on between their mosque and a local politician.
Fighting for what they believe in may involve even more obstacles than they bargained for, but the two best friends will continue as they always have: together.
