Reviews

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book on abortion for young people I would say is biased. It has no info about fetal development and only the most sanitized descriptions of abortion procedures ("a uterus gently emptied of tissue") but it DOES mention the Pro-Life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians. This was written in 2007
