Not Funny Ha-Ha by Leah Hayes

I think one of the best things about this book is that it doesn't get into morality at all. It's no nonsense. "So, you've decided to get an abortion for reasons that are none of anyone's business? Cool. This is what you can expect to go through and what you might feel (or not). Whatever you're feeling, it's totally valid."
The artwork, which is minimalist, is incredibly powerful. The facial expressions on the characters are complex and subtle, and Hayes uses POV drawings of things like hospital lights to reflect emotions to great effect.
This is a must-read for anyone on either side of the pro-choice/pro-life debate, because it humanizes those who get abortions and gives a realistic portrayal of what they go through physically and emotionally without getting into politics.
