Good points and intentions but said far too aggressively

Satu hal yang kerap terlintas di pikiranku ketika membaca buku ini adalah, “Ini harus dibaca sama laki-laki.”

Berisi kumpulan essay yang cenderung singkat, klaim buku ini yang menjanjikan perspektif baru dalam melihat aborsi lebih dari sekadar permasalahan legal/ilegal dan moral/amoral menarik aku sebagai pembaca yang belum punya stance dalam masalah ini.

Selama ini, ketika memikirkan permasalahan terkait aborsi, aku belum bisa menentukan apakah aborsi itu merupakan tindakan bermoral atau tidak, karena terasa terlalu hitam-putih. Sebaliknya, buku ini mengelaborasikan aborsi dari perspektif pencegahannya, yang ditarik ke sebelum terjadinya kehamilan, bukan sesudah. Walaupun begitu, essay-essay dalam buku ini juga mengajak kita (terutama laki-laki) untuk memikirkan konsekuensi yang bisa terjadi di masa depan bila kehamilan yang tidak direncanakan terjadi. Penjelasan dalam buku ini juga sama sekali nggak menyulitkan, cuma memaparkan data-data dan statistik yang terjadi di Amerika Serikat aja.

There are not enough stars for how much I liked this book. Short, accessible, and brilliant. In light of the current situation regarding abortion rights in the USA and other places around the world, this is must-read for everyone. It’s incredibly relevant and powerful. Listened to it on Audible, but would love to read it as well. Will re-read/re-listen to this whenever I need a reminder of how the world should be and can be if we all put in the work.

Love. Love. Love.

This should be required reading for all American high schoolers (for teenagers everywhere, really!)

Thank you for writing and making accessible the truths that so many women have been aware of for so long - I absolutely love your metaphors and hypotheticals!

My kids will be reading this. ❤️

Some good information and some good arguments. A little simplified, but that is probably intentional for the audience the author is targeting.

This little book is about so much more than abortion. It does a great job of making you realize that the system we're all grown and raised in is just a system and ours for the accepting or rejecting or changing, as difficult as that fight might seem. Strong recommend.
