Review
"Abandoned is a kind of shocking immersion into the depths of the American battle over abortion. Here is preserved up-close and in detail an important historical moment that reveals at once the commitment, the fears, the frustration and the hop of those who oppose abortion and the darkest truth about the practice of abortion itself. This book is unprecedented, provocative and will leave its mark on all who read it."

From the Back Cover
Abandoned is a first-hand account of the Pro-Life movement from the front lines of the abortion battle. Inside, you'll discover:
- Victories - and defeats - in sidewalk counseling
- Late-night rescues of the remains of aborted babies from abortion clinic dumpsters
- The daring story behind the disappearing abortion clinic ads along the Chicago El Line
- Sit-ins, arrests, and gripping conversations (and conversions) outside abortion clinics
- A chilling look at the inner-workings of abortion facilities
- A unique and poignant investigation into the tragedy of legalized abortion
Here is the provactive, disturbing, and essentially unknown saga of life and death, hope and despair in which two opposing worlds collide and play out one of the most important moral dramas of our time.

This truly was a book I just didn't want to put down. I found myself carrying it from room to room so that I could extend my reading time! Miller definitely has her heart in the right place, and she details her work in the pro-life movement in a way that makes you feel that you are there. If you are at all interested in the pro-life movement, or the abortion issue, I would recommend this book. I found it both informative and thought-provoking.

If you read this Monica, you are my hero! I am new to prolife, only 6 months, but well read and studied. I have met or read about no one like you with boldness and courage. Mostly people are talkers, not a lot of doers. But they are out there!

The author explains the title of the book throughout the book, as she describes her solidarity with the unborn. She recognizes the utter rejection of the babies, as the type of abandonment that Christ suffered in his Passion. First, the one who should have been loyal, turns the baby over to disinterested torturers - who also lack regard for the mothers. The victim is completely alone and helpless to protect herself or himself, as was the Crucified Christ. The abortion workers do not even ponder the humanity evident in what they call POC's (products of conception), though little children described what they found in a trash can as "little people". For me, a prolifer after a radical conversion experience, more inclined to facts than spirituality, it has always been hard to identify with the unborn. I saw them only as the developing woman or man, scientist, road builder, doctor, artist. Migliorino has connected the dots for me. My favorite part of the book is the dialog with inmates that the author had during her many incarcerations.

I wish I had the courage that Monica Miller has. God bless her and all those like her. God will reward them for all they do to defend life.
I read this book because I value all life. I wish anyone who considers themselves to be pro choice would read it with an open mind and heart, and then explain how they can be so determined to stop women from hearing that she has choices, plural. Bottom line it comes down to the almighty dollar.
May they have a conversion to the one true God and a love for ALL HIS CHILDREN!!!

This is a comprehensive account covering three decades of effective Pro-Life direct action.
The Author reveals much of the inner turmoil experienced when a culture, and especially the legal system, embraces the
so-called "right to choose" over higher values like the right to life.
The book includes a section of graphic color photos that depict the reality of what has been and is going on right now.
Miller always advocated non-violence as a demonstration of her response to Christs love and sacrifice.
There are many successes described, especially about "Peaches" baby, that thrill my heart.
Then there is the total blindness of a unhinged Police State that replicates the mind set of the Nazi
police that blindly follows "the law" because it is "my job"; and the prosecutor/Judicial system
that always acts to protect itself at the expense of true justice for "the least of these".

This book is very good......everyone should read...especially if they think abortion is not murder. The pictures of aborted babies will break your heart. Monica gives a very good account of the pro-life movement from the very beginning.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Miller at a Conference we spoke at in Detroit, Michigan. I had no idea how much personal sacrifice she had made for the unborn. As a father of a special needs child, national speaker, and award winning author I think every pro life advocate and activist should read this book. It will give a new appreciation for why we choose to fight this fight when others won't.
