Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights by Katha Pollitt
1.0
1.5/5
Picked this up from the library because it was the only book about abortion rights available at the time. Besides making one or two good points, and giving some (not much really) information, this book wasn’t very informative at all. I think some information here is out of date (which isn’t the fault of the author at all) and the writing was very hard to get through. The author repeats points or phrases constantly, to the point where after a while it just felt like she was trying to meet a word count. This book could be cut down to a fourth of the size of all of the repetitive phrases were removed. It also looks like the author is trying for a more conversational tone, which doesn’t work well here.
