Abortion: A Personal Story, A Political Choice by Pauline Harmange

emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

“They tell me that since abortion is a choice, society wants it to be a choice that is easy and untroubled. I think, ferociously, my agreement reinforced by the range of emotions are generally told: you’ve made your bed, so lie in it. You wanted it, you got it, now shut your mouth and smile. And I ask these women if that isn’t unlike what those who become mothers are also told: you wanted it, you got it, now shut your mouth and smile.” 

A really interesting, emotional and thought provoking book about the shame surrounding abortion.
