This book provides a place that is set apart from politics, from labels, from debate and seeks to convey the real abortion experiences of real people and offers interactive suggestions to begin the healing process.
Laws regulating abortion patients and providers treat abortion not as an acceptable medical decision―let alone a right―but as something disreputable, immoral, and chosen by mistake. The author takes these prejudicial views of women’s abortion decisions into the twenty-first century by uncovering new connections between abortion law and American culture and politics.
The question of whether a young woman should be allowed to terminate a pregnancy without her parents' knowledge has been one of the most contentious issues of the post Roe v. Wade era. This is the first book to examine in thorough detail the decision-making experiences of teens considering abortion.
