In February, 2022, after Roe v. Wade marked its 49th anniversary, Tolentino warned that the legal precedent was unlikely to survive to its 50th.

“We are entering an era not just of unsafe abortions but of the widespread criminalization of pregnancy,” Tolentino wrote, on the day that the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Later, Tolentino considered the moral complexities of pregnancy and abortion. “Abortion is often talked about as a grave act . . . but bringing a new life into the world felt, to me, like the decision that more clearly risked being a moral mistake.”
