5.0
This is an extremely educational collection of comics that discuss the legal history of abortion in the U.S., the medical reasons for needing one, and resources for those seeking reproductive healthcare. It dispels a lot of propaganda myths around the procedure, including lies about how unsafe it is (of course, I'm speaking about its safety with people who are properly trained to perform abortions). Trigger warning since there is mention of abuse and SA in some of the stories.
It's unlikely that someone who is very anti-choice would pick this book up, but it truly is full of so much valuable information that people should know. I learned a lot, and I feel that this resource will become increasingly more valuable to our population as we venture forth into a post-Roe world.
