The Abortionist

"A major book challenging the standard narrative on illegal abortion in important ways. I anticipate a wide audience for this updated edition."--Katha Pollitt, author of Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights "A brutally frank, often shocking, and yet always uplifting tale about the abortion experience in Portland, Oregon, in the years before Roe v. Wade. Nowhere will you find a better argument for constitutional protection of choice."--Ellen Chesler, author of Woman of Valor: Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control Movement in America
