I was looking for a short book on my shelves to plug the gap before I can get my library hold, and found this, which my mother bought before she lapsed in her 20s, but still kept all her life. And thought, why not? I need books from Vatican for my Global Challenge. I have been thinking about birth control recently b/c the topic is in the news again (unfortunately), and I have just finished a novel by Marguerite Duras who was a pro-choice activist.
A beautiful book of text and imagery I‘ve picked up through each of my first two pregnancies. Now starting again…
In the light of, ah, recent events, I can recommend this as an excellent and thought-provoking, if somewhat dated, read.
panThis wasn‘t what I thought this would be....if you are a devout Christian, you might really like this book. Abby seems to play a whole “I didn‘t really know what Planned Parenthood did”, her whole family is staunchly pro-life, and had 2 abortions herself before God “spoke to me and showed me the way”. The writing was simplistic and over done.
so-soAbortion can be such a polarizing topic, but this book was not! I thought the author was very nice to people on both sides of “the life line.” This book was about a 50 pages longer than it needed to be. Focuses mostly on addressing spiritual concerns, but also mentions some of the misleading “pro-choice” language. Not sure I would recommend it, but the overall story isn‘t bad.
