A review by kthornette
The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez

4.0

“What was the difference among women who had abortions; women who abandoned, neglected, or abused their kids; and women who waited until they were ready and loved their kids?”

This is another book I decided to pick up given the current events surrounding Roe v. Wade.

It was a very eye-opening and a fascinating experiment dealing with social stigma and consequences on Gaby as well as the nuances surrounding teen pregnancy in society and the media. I really liked Gaby’s commentary on how we don’t have to be the statistic we fall into, and that we can overcome it.

I loved the format of a story with dialogue and some small essays with research. Personally, I would’ve loved more on the actual project during the months and its ramifications rather than the long backstory.
