Customer Reviews

first, you must be open to both sides of the issue

This book is very interesting as you get both sides of the issue. There are women who have had abortions as well as nuns talking about after abortion mental health problems. There's the legal as well as the morality argument. But each piece has a different viewpoint, so there's no "you must _believe_ " this or that. The book gives you more of a global perspective on abortion. If you are willing to read opposing views, this is a good place to start.
