This book is an excellent resource for not only anyone considering an abortion, but also anyone in the helping professions who is in the position of referring clients for abortions. The information and advice is clear, realistic, and reassuring. It is a resource that women have needed for a long time, I would encourage anyone facing an unplanned pregnancy to utilize it.

Even if you're very young, poor, alone, afraid or living in the boondocks, Kaufmann provides the resources to exercise your constitutionally protected right to abortion. The very personal decisions you make concerning your reproductive choices are honored.

For additional support, please read our pro-choice essay, 'Abortion is Not a Sin' at:

I flipped through this book and was amazed at the lies they wrote, i.e.: "The pamphlets are filled with inaccurate and distorted information, such as entirely false claims that an 11-week-old fetus can feel pain...". An 11-week-old fetus has eyes, ears, fingers, toes, nose, mouth, heartbeat, hair, fingernails, genitalia, and spinal column. Logic would tell us that all resembles a "human". For further confirmation, check out "A Child is Born" by Lennart Nilsson.

This book also makes the choice of abortion look like something that every woman should experience as a rite of passage. Example: Lucy, a girl who decided to get an abortion in college, said she was "proud of the first real choice she ever made" since her parents had always "made all of her choices for her". An unusual example of being independent. Next time, move to an uncharted island in the South Pacific and live off the land.

Thsi is one of the most disgusting books I have ever hard of. What sort of propaganda is this? 'Antichoice clinics?' (Those are pregancy centers that promote life and provide options other than murder.) 'Circumventing parental consent laws?' (That is sidestepping laws which are there to protect girls who have made a mistake and gotten pregnant.) Please remove this book from your list or provide an accurate review, one that reads more like this: "This book provides a one-sided view of the topic of abortion. It views the act of abortion as birth control, not as murder of a developing child. The best method of birth control is abstinence, which promotes mental, spiritual, and physical health."
