5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Four
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2011
I have read 4 books on abortion so far. This one is the best. Don't bother to read the other 2 reviews prior to mine. They don't say anything about this book at all. (One just talking about Mary aborting Jesus. The other about how he got the wrong book.) This is a challenging read, but much of it will surprise you. The last essay actually gives a possible compromise. Here is the other book I liked a lot: When Abortion Was a Crime: Women, Medicine, and Law in the United States, 1867-1973 The author in When Abortion is pro-choice, so you will have to live with that if you are not. However, it is highly researched and has won a number of awards. Her point of view does not make the facts any less true.
