I really appreciated hearing all of these stories, and for the bravery of those who shared them. I think everyone should read this book.

I liked it but found parts of the writing were quite repetitive, just re-phrasing the same thought every few paragraphs with slightly different language, which started to feel like an essay trying to reach word count. I enjoyed hearing different stories of real women but the writing could have been a bit more focused I think.

I think you could look at this book in two ways. Political agenda of a doctor using the experiences of women who went through abortion as propaganda to support the interface of pro-choice. On the other side of the coin, raw and emotional stories of women who through abortion and shared their stories to destroy the societies way of thinking about abortion.
Roe v. Wade being overturned, Greg Abbott implementing unrealistic medical practices for the states citizens to receive abortions and other states following the direct path after Texas. As a Texan and a woman, it's sickening to have my rights stripped away. It is my body, why do I not have a say in what happens to it?
This book highlights the many socio-economic factors for abortions. People of color and people in poverty are often left with the short side of the stick and taking away their abortion rights feeds into that. This book was phenomenal. These are stories from real women who have struggled, some even made me cry.
Even if you are pro-life, read through the testimonials of these women with open eyes. They are all beautiful, (some might even be a little selfish) and such a far source away from the constant non-separation of church that you most likely see on a daily basis.
My body is my body - if I wanted the government in my uterus then I would have sex with a senator.

I really enjoyed the personal stories and how they represent different reasons women get abortions. Was super emotional and informative.
Loses points for me personally because the intro was really long and as someone who has a high understanding of USA policies it just was a bit too repetitive. Also the audiobook narrators voice kind of annoyed me
