Rather than providing textbook examples of lies, deception and illegal activity across the country, this book tells the story of a woman who lived that life and turned away from it.
This book is easy to read (except for the fact that it makes you wonder why abortion is still legal). Furthermore, it is great evidence for that friend of yours that doesn't believe that the abortion industry is unethical.

If my wife and I had not been against abortion, and the clinics that provide these services, this book would have convicted us of it! Carol Everett showed the reader of the immoral and even illegal practices of falsifying pregnacy reports to con young, and sometimes not so young women, into obtaining an abortion; killing of babies that managed to be born alive in the late tri-mester and dumping them into dumpsters, and falsifying medical reports with the hospital to avoid legal consequences for their mistakes during the abortion. She tells of how she "sold" abortions to women with the added pressure of "it will cost you more the longer you wait." Carol Everett has shown the deception of a multi-million dollar industry to the general public in the hopes that women will try alternates to abortion, like adoption or even keeping their child. It is a must for anyone interested in fighting this industry.

Blood Money was written by a woman who ran an abortion clinic. It was the best one in her state and it made a fortune. The money--not the women who came into the clinic was the bottom line. I wasn't prepared for this book. It shocked me. The sloppy medical practices, the rough treatment of patients, the doctors who were just barely hanging on to their licenses. The endless strife and bickering; it was all one shock after another. Highly recommended. Bring a strong stomach and a box of tissue.

A powerful addition to the anti-abortion library is Blood Money (Portland: Multnomah Press, c. 1992), by Carol Everett, with Jack Shaw. This is the very personal account of a woman who had an abortion, got involved in the business of "providing abortions," and then rejected all she stood for to become one of its most impassioned opponents.
Everett grew up in west Texas, lost her virginity in high school, got pregnant with another boyfriend, whom she married at the age of 17; she then had a baby boy and girl. Her husband was still in college, but they seemed to have a good chance to make it as a young family. Immaturity and self-centeredness, however, destroyed the union and Carol divorced her first husband.
She remarried in 1970 and unexpectedly became pregnant two years later. Her husband didn't want the child, so she followed his urging to get an abortion. Overcoming her own feelings, she found a surgeon who performed the operation. At that time she "bought the big lie: 'It's only a glob of tissue--not a baby'" (p. 69). The abortion, however, failed to keep her marriage intact, so she went through a second divorce soon thereafter.
Needing to support herself and her children, she developed some shrewd business skills, and (fortuitously, it seemed) got involved in the now-legal abortion business, working with the physician who had performed her own abortion. Though she at times had reservations, particularly when they "botched abortions" (as they did on a regular basis), though she felt grief-stricken when one woman died, she enjoyed the big bucks, hoping ultimately to clear a million dollars in one year.
Retaining at least a veneer of religiosity, she regularly prayed, kept a Bible in her desk, and tithed her income!... Read more ›

This book will draw back the veil on the underside of the abortion industry. The book Unplanned by Abby Johnson was written by a woman who really thought she was helping women. This book was written by a woman who acknowledges she was in it for the money. She started out as it would seam a lot of women do when they go into the abortion business, as a post abortive woman. She told herself at the start It was to help women and to make lots of money for herself. Then her clinic killed a woman and she had to lie to her self more and more each day as more women died and were maimed. she even got her daugher and son involved when they were teens. She of couse comes to see the truth and come out of the industry and deal with her own issues and her past. It's eye opening to say the least and very informative. I the book spans many years of her childhood and youth and them the many years in the abortion industry. It comes close to answering a question many pro-lifers ask "How can those people do what they do and live with themselves".

If you want to know what the abortion industry is like, then you should find out from someone who has been on both sides.
Read and share. It's a shame more people haven't gotten their hands on this book.

Very informative
This book was very informative and eye opening. A must read. It is a look inside the abortion industry and how it is really about the money not the woman involved.

Sickening but essential reading
Carol Everett was responsible for the deaths of 35,000 people. No, she wasn't a Nazi. Nor was she a KGB agent. Read more

What Carol Everett doesn't understand is that while surgical abortions in the late term are complicated, they are necessary. Read more
