Another excellent book on the topic of abortion by Janet Morana. This one has countless stories of how abortion not only affects the mothers who've had one but so many other people, including abortion providers and office workers, fathers of the babies, siblings of the aborted children, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and those people who helped women procure abortions. The stories are so sad. Millions of beautiful lives have been cut short because of this barbaric process and ideology. When will this end?

This a must read for those concerned about abortion, no matter what side of the political fence you are on. An extremely powerful book with interviews of survivors. It can be a disturbing non-fiction read, but a necessary one. Well worth your time and not a book to sit on a shelf after you have finished reading it. It should be passed forward to others.

Very powerful testimonies showing that abortion hurts so many people. Not just the woman, but the father, the siblings, the grandparents, the friends.....a very powerful collection of testimonies. There were times I felt myself tearing up out of sympathy for these women and their families.
