This is the book I have been waiting for!!!!

A truly honest work, giving voice to the complex grey areas surrounding abortion and leading to basic human rights. This anthology challenges the concept of "choice" as it is inaccessible to all women. Calling for a new conversation that includes the spectrum of reproductive health issues and that poor and working class women are merely seeking our basic human rights, and that "pro-choice" does not capture the breadth of what women seeking access to basic health care are fighting for. Essays address the fact that women may have personal and moral conflicts with abortion, while still believing that it must be safe legal and accessible. The biggest skeleton in the closet is brought to light, that women may have feelings of greif and loss and that it is possible to still beleive that they have made the right decision. A great book for discussions, curricula and book clubs. This kind of open discussion that happens in the grey areas is what can propell reproductive justice into the future. LOVED IT.
