I liked this book so much that after reading it in the library, I bought it on Amazon.com. I want my daughter (and son) to read it when they get older. After hearing so much pro-choice rhetoric EVERYWHERE, it is refreshing to read what I've always felt has been true in my heart. This book is pro-life FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF WOMEN WHO HAVE HAD ABORTIONS, making it unique in my eyes. It mentions the physical and psychological risks of abortion, that are all too often glossed over by the pro-choice advocates. Even the hardest cases for abortion, like rape and incest are addressed with candor and compassion from women who've been there. This book covers the impact abortion has on later children and problems women have with infertility and the breast cancer link. This book does NOT sit in judgement of women who've had abortions. That's the beauty of it, too. It is rather a cautionary tale, a means of educating women (and men, too). There are other options. Women deserve better than to be rejected for being pregnant, and killing their unborn when they think there's no other "choices". This book is TRUE FEMINISM...it is the love of women in their most vulnerable state. "Mother and child are as one, and they cannot be separated without doing violence to both." (Truly feminism should be the love and acceptance of women for what nature intended them to be at some point in their lives...mothers.)
I must also mention that this book accurately paints abortion as the money-making industry that it is, not a sacrament meant for the betterment of womankind.
I hope an expanded, newer edition comes out. I'll buy that, too.
