5.0 out of 5 stars Why the abortion industry is a mess
The information found in this book is hard to find elsewhere, but it is well documented. He doesn't make it up. People need to know the risks, especially since the abortion industry is unregulated in comparison to other medical procedures, thanks to politics.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great research, but Crutcher cripples himself
It's as if Lime 5 were written by two people. Mark Crutcher #1 is the researcher who gathers volumes of information and presents it in a clear and well-documented way that even the most committed pro-choice "true believer" can't refute. Mark Crutcher #2 is the politician who tries to sway public opinion with blanket statements and drawn conclusions that...

5.0 out of 5 stars Why the abortion industry is a mess, February 3, 2001

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lime 5 : Exploited by Choice (Paperback)
The information found in this book is hard to find elsewhere, but it is well documented. He doesn't make it up. People need to know the risks, especially since the abortion industry is unregulated in comparison to other medical procedures, thanks to politics.

I found the information in Lime 5 shocking and depressing. Women fought for the right to abort, and now that same obsession with that right has led to an unregulated industry with serious health consequences.

Crutcher outlines these risks in this book extremely well, from the risk of death, sterility, breast cancer, even rape and sexual assault. It isn't a book to be read for pleasure, but it is necessary to be well informed. It is a must read on the issue of abortion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Throwing down the gauntlet., December 15, 1997
This review is from: Lime 5 : Exploited by Choice (Paperback)
Crutcher makes no bones about his politics on abortion: he wants it stopped, entirely. After reading this book, the reader will have a difficult time disagreeing. His descriptions of events are often taken verbatim from hospital records, court documents, and autopsy reports. They are not for the squeamish, and bring home a reality that numbers never could. A mother describes sitting at the bedside of her dying 13-year-old daughter: "I had to keep my hand pressed over my mouth to keep from screaming in horror." A respected abortion doctor reflects on his fellows: "Following good standards costs money. And people don't want to do that." An abortion clinic nurse describes her work environment: "The real philosophy is, each woman is worth X amount of money and the more women we can see, the more money we can make." Crutcher throws down the gauntlet, challenging those who defend legalized abortion to clean up their act. Yet he argues that ultimately such efforts will fail because abortion inherently contaminates everyone and everything it touches. The first rule of battle is to know your enemy, and Crutcher left no stone unturned. Lime 5 is painstakingly documented, and his sources are unimpeachable. Whether you agree or disagree with his conclusions, he presents a picture of abortion that every American should contemplate. Lime 5 is a must read for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-documented, May 24, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Lime 5 : Exploited by Choice (Paperback)
Very little documentation here? An earlier reviewer commented that "Most of the "so-called" documentation consists of old newspaper accounts, and some are as old as 25 years." Obviously, they didn't read the book; I just counted a page of citations, and at least 75% come from medical journals or court records. "X-files"? Crutcher presents all the facts that he found to come with his conclusion. Sure, it's easy to brush off any idea of CDC bias, but when over 50% of the CDC employees there have ties to the abortion industry, how can you call that conclusion an "X-files conspiracy theory?" Get a copy of this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Necessary reading, July 24, 2000
By 
Kat (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lime 5 : Exploited by Choice (Paperback)
My friend got this book for a speech she had to give on abortion and I read it. Conspiracy theory? X-Files? Sensationalist? I don't think so. I've done some work with the pro-life movement and I've heard enough personal testimonies to know that the atrocities in Lime 5 are not as isolated as the pro-chioce movement would claim. An excellent source for anyone who wants to know more about the abortion industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrifying and Thought provoking, February 5, 2000
By 
This review is from: Lime 5 : Exploited by Choice (Paperback)
This book will make an impact on you. You will either love it or hate it. Those who hate it, tend to scream about the lack of solid evidence, but the fact is that the evidence is sufficient to point to Crusher's conclusions. The conspiracy I am sure is not organized. Rather, it is clear by this book that facts are being hidden, by a government which has neglected to adequately protect patients. The conspiracy is simply embarrassment.The abortion industry is, and has been an embarrassment to healthcare professionals for years, and the evidence in this book points to reasons why.This book is a unique perspective of the abortion issue. Women's health is a matter of concern, and it is clear, that some of the most incompetent health professionals work in this field.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome, awsome, true & awsome!!, August 3, 2001
By 
irene (Chicago Il. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lime 5 : Exploited by Choice (Paperback)
What a book! I have personally used the information in this book as I sidewalk counsel which has saved lives. When I first started reading it, the book seemed so unbelievable, yet everything is documented and even the author himself says the information is almost too much to beleive. This book absolutely dispels the MYTH of "safe & legal". It's not safe nor legal! This is the same author who exposed the baby part scam, where it was found that the more intact the abortionist can retreive a baby, the more profitable to sell his/her parts for research....This book is an excellent tool for anyone who is defending life,and it especially shows how very harmful, dangerous and damaging abortion is to WOMEN, let alone their babies. Women truely are exploited by "choice". Irene V.

5.0 out of 5 stars YIKES!, September 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Lime 5 : Exploited by Choice (Paperback)
I picked this book up by mistake one day at the library. I have a fairly common name and apparently someone with the same name had asked for this book to be reserved for them. I was in a rush the day I went to pick up a book they were holding for me, and didn't notice I was given the wrong title. It was a holiday weekend and our library was closed, so by the time I realized my mistake, it was too late to take it back and get my book. When I saw that Lime 5 was about abortion, I decided to read a little of it. Being a woman, and pretty much a feminist, I figured this was just more dribble written by a man who would never be faced with making a decision about ending a pregnancy. By the time I finished the first chapter, I was in shock. By the time I finished the book, I was determined to check much more closely into a woman's issue that I had really just taken for granted. I checked out some of the sources, only a few considering there are over 1000 cites for the book, and they were all accurate. All I can say now is that I had no idea that this kind of tragedy still happened in the United States where we tout, "safe, legal abortion found here."

5.0 out of 5 stars Required Reading, February 4, 2003
By 
"guilbrown" (Springfield, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lime 5 : Exploited by Choice (Paperback)
This book lays out, plainly and factually, the enormously detrimental effects widespread abortion has on our country. Crutcher relies primarily on the statements of abortion providers themselves to give "inside" views of the abortion industry, and reveals shocking revelations about ethical lapses in the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Above all, he lays bare the fact that the abortion industry is more about power and money than it is about any imagined "dignity" of American women which that very industry routinely disregards in abhorrent fashion. If you're "pro-choice" and "intellectually honest", don't hesitate to read this book: it's an illuminating factual story without preaching or pretense. If you don't want to know the facts, I suggest picking up some Planned Parenthood press release instead.
