Docked one star because some of the stories/illustrations were really difficult to read for me. These stories were ... great seems to be the wrong word, but I'll stick to it. Some made me very angry about the state of reproductive health, others informed me on the history of the fight for reproductive health and the nuances of the laws, and others made me feel grateful that I have such a good community of supportive women around me that if I was ever in the position to get an abortion I would not have to deal with the struggles so many others did, but reading about those struggles angered and saddened me.
This isn't a book that is created to change someone's mind about the pro-choice movement, but to share stories and to humanize the women who, whether they've had abortions or not, have been dehumanized and demonized.
