Reviews
"Beautiful, depressing, and hopeful. This book is crucial for understanding the realities of abortion in America. As told by providers, women who have abortions, and scholars, the stories in this book upend the lie that paints abortion users and practitioners as frivolous and uncaring human beings. Abortion Care reveals the the care, love, and deep morality that guides abortion practice."
-- Leslie J. Reagan * author of Dangerous Pregnancies: Mothers, Disabilities, and Abortion in Modern America *
"This collection contains some truly moving personal testimony that deserves a wide readership. The voices of providers are what make the collection so powerful." -- Janet Golden * author of Babies Made Us Modern: How Infants Brought Americans into the Twentieth Century *
