5.0

Probably going to be the most important book I read this year, and the one I'll be giving away the most copies of. If you're a woman who's capable of reproducing, or you plan on interacting with one, or are just curious about the most significant and traumatizing thing that can happen to 50% of the world's population, you need to read these comics. Some are stories from abortion providers, many are from women and transmen who have experienced abortions, and a couple are purely informational science explaining how conception and pregnancy work. No matter how much you know, there's bound to be something still to learn from at least one of these people's hard-won experience.

That goes double for men, pro-life radicals, and anyone who thinks two alternatives (motherhood or adoption) are plenty.
