I would recommend this book to anyone who wanted to understand the nuances of abortion and see how it affects everybody.
Very informative, very well written. I didn’t love switching narrators on the audiobook, one was clear and loud the other was soft and fuzzy.

Listened on audio and found this book incredibly engaging and eye-opening! I learned more about the vast breadth of circumstances that can lead to abortion and the importance of reproductive healthcare access regardless of those circumstances. The dangers of limiting this access become more and more apparent with each story shared. Docking this a half a point for mild repetitiveness, but overall this book increased my knowledge and empathy toward abortion - the stories and facts shared throughout should be required reading prior to making any judgements or decisions about others' bodies and what they choose to do with them.
