5.0 out of 5 stars His Best Work, April 7, 2000

This review is from: Making Abortion Rare: A Healing Strategy for a Divided Nation (Paperback)

Making Abortion Rare goes beyond Aborted Women, Silent No More by providing ideas for disseminating information to women considering abortion and protecting their legal rights to sue for malpractice. Reardon often sites from Hern's Abortion Practices a text for abortion practitioners. He then asks why complications are both ignored by people doing intake at abortion clinics and not given to women as part of their informed consent. If you believe, women should have the right to choose an abortion do you also believe that doctors performing abortion must take the same amount of care other surgeons do?

2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, not-so-great book, May 10, 2006

This review is from: Making Abortion Rare: A Healing Strategy for a Divided Nation (Paperback)

I was disappointed in this book. It makes a great argument for how to lower the abortion rate in America and help women heal. However, the subject does not require hundreds of pages. It has one point and it makes it, clearly, but then, like many other books I researched on this subject, it spends pages saying the same thing in many different ways.

This review is from: Making Abortion Rare: A Healing Strategy for a Divided Nation (Paperback)

This book focuses in on the unfortunate reality that women seeking abortion are rarely, if ever, given information about the known risks. This means that most women who have chosen abortion did not give their informed consent, since they weren't given all the facts.
