I wrote this review in May, 2018.
“All we want to do is control our own bodies.”
“My body, my choice.”
Comics for Choice is an important educational project, featuring comics from dozens of women (and some men) on their personal experience with and institutional history of abortion in the United States. States are closing legal clinics, and the future of reproductive rights seems more in jeopardy than ever, so this seems necessary to educate a new generation about these issues. And, importantly, the book features the stories of people from across the country, some of them told and drawn by comics artists, some of the told by women and drawn by others. It feels raw and personal, and not all one thing, all one perspective; sometimes anguished, angry, ashamed, oh, all of the emotions are here. It’s not a chronological history book, it’s a pastiche of perspectives, but it finally is a people’s—women’s—history of abortion, along the lines of Howard Zinn’s People’s History of the United States.
Though polls tell us a vast majority of Americans favor legal access to abortion, we also know it is one of those flashpoint issues that divides us as a people, even dividing families (and this is true of my family, actually--most are anti-abortion). I have this feeling only pro-choice readers will read this, just as pro-choice advocates might not read a book decidedly written from the anti-choice stance. I think this book, however, challenges pre- and mis-conceptions, and that is useful in itself.
The art is, of course, of uneven quality, and the point is not that this is at the artistic level of Alison Bechdel or Chris Ware. From a comics perspective, it is important that comics are used by a range of people to tell their stories. Timely, not necessarily timeless art. The entries are usually very short, and often powerful. If you are raped, if you are the victim of incest, and you get pregnant, should you be able to get an abortion? This was once not possible, you couldn't legally terminate your pregnancy, and then thanks to Roe v. Wade, it has been legal for a few short decades, but now all of these questions are at issue again. This book should be a part of every unwanted pregnancy decision, part of the conversation.
Here's some of it, in a review:

I respect those who support the choice to have abortion. But as for me, who was born and raised in a Catholic and conservative country, I'm against it because not only of moral standards, but also it may lead to health complications in the future.
I don't impose my views to those who are Pro-Choice, but I really appreciate that I was given the chance by the publisher for the reading copy of this infographic. It is very informative and I was able to read several stories why women chose to abort their child. I don't criticize them because it's their choice, their right and what they believe. However, it never swayed me to change my perspective.
Thanks to Alternative Comics for the reading copy.

It took a bit longer to finish this than I expected. That's because I had to keep putting it down and walking away for a bit, either to let my emotions settle, or because the story demanded a bit of space to properly savor …
As the cover promises, this is a pro-choice anthology of comics stories. Many are autobiographical. Some are historical. Some are harrowing, some empowering. All are informative and heartfelt. Having such a large and controversial subject brought out the best in these artists.
I have long considered myself pro-choice, so I was favorably disposed towards this book going in. As far as its persuasiveness goes, well, I rather doubt that many pro-lifers will even read it to begin with. It's such a polarizing topic, after all. Those that do, well, it's nice to think that they’d change their minds, but most likely they’d have their resistance way up.
The book's true value comes from the way it demystifies the whole concept of abortion. Reading so many personal, individual stories shows what other people's experiences were like. The feeling is that, if they could get get through it, so could I. Well, okay; I'm male, and, barring a medical breakthrough (or divine intervention,) unlikely to become pregnant in the foreseeable future. You know what I mean. Recommended!

A comic anthology edited by Hazel Newlevant, Whit Taylor and O. K. Fox which was successfully crowd-funded. It contains over 40 stories which range from deeply personal to informational. Some standouts include "Jane", by Rachel Wilson and Ally Shwed, about an illegal women's abortion service group in Chicago in the late 1960s and early 1970s; "October" by Kris Louis about dealing with an unplanned pregnancy while also coming out as trans; "Small Mistakes Make Big Problems" by Sophia Foster-Dimino who also designed the fabulous cover; and "Nothing Feels Real" by Vreni.

I generally try to avoid subject matter this depressing, but slap it into a comic book format and I cannot help inflicting it upon myself. The writing consistently displays powerful personal narratives and informative points of view though the art gets a little rough in places.

4.5/5 stars (rounded up)
A fascinating and intimate look at the lives of individuals who, for varying reasons, have had an abortion. Each story was unique, and I appreciate that such a variety of individuals stepped up to tell their story. Many stories stood out in their quality, in both storytelling and art, and I found it difficult to point to one that impacted me the most/ "a favorite."
However, there were several areas in which I thought the book was lacking. By the end, I felt that the book was a polished piece, but that there were some areas more effort could have been put in to make it more inclusive/ "complete":
1) Because every story featured is in comic-form, I feel that the scope of abortion experiences that could have been shared was limited. I feel that the book would have benefited had their been more writer-artist pairs, rather from writer-artists. Scientists, stay-at-home-moms, secretaries, CEOs, psychologists and therapists, grocery store clerks, individuals in the armed forces, etc. all seek/ benefit from comprehensive abortion services... so to pretty much only share stories from individuals who make their living from making art severely limited the scope of stories that Comics for Choice could have told.
2) The book makes an amazing effort to include individuals of different racial/ ethic, sexual, and gender identities, but I would have liked to see more writing/art from individuals with disabilities. I could write a whole essay on how I can interpret this, but I will concede and simply admit that I was disappointed to not see more women like myself featured.
3) Though the book contains a great deal of information on varied experiences with abortion, medical (pill) abortions, legal/ public health issues involving abortion, and medical information... I can't remember any stories that actually, clearly define how a surgical abortion works. It's always there, just under the surface, but no comic went into the details on what exactly it entails, the tools used, how it is defined medically, etc. A bizarre choice for a book that encourages empowerment through education.
In all, I felt that this book was very valuable, and one that many individuals will find strength and knowledge in, but it lacked in some (I felt) very important ways. I would gladly financially support/ read a second volume should one come about. I have decided to give this book five stars (rounded up), in spite of my issues, because I felt that the sheer breadth of honesty, personal reflection, compassion, and personality featured in these individual stories makes up for the problems I found within Comics for Choice as a whole.

this is just amazing
October 12, 2017
When I supported this anthology, I thought it was just gonna be short zine. I got so much more.
This is a proper book, jam-packed with personal stories and informational spreads. It succeeds in highlighting all sorts of different feelings around having an abortion - from being deeply impacted to seeing it as extended birth control - and tells both contemporary and earlier stories, through highly diverse identities, ranging from sexuality, gender, and ethnic identities to patients, doctors, clinic escorts, other workers, and generally people who have been impacted by reproductive rights. It has an overall good flow where subjects that are brought up in one comic is further explored in the next. so many of the stories are told by people who felt alone and like they couldn't speak about their abortion. It's amazing to see them share their stories.

Simply wonderful. I'm so glad a book like this exists. The stigma of abortion exists as long as those who have had one, or wanted one, or tried to get one remain silent. This book is a boon to women everwhere who value and cherish and understand the necessity of reproductive freedom.
And from the perspective of a comics fan, this book was a lovely reminder of how the medium can work in so many different ways. This collection is brimming with artists who value the medium of comics, and their conviction to the form as much as their reproductive and political ideals. COmics is an art form and is therefore open to every topic.
I cannot recommend this book enough.

This is a super important collection of comics about abortion. Comics for Choice shares personal abortion stories, histories and commentaries on the politics of abortion. Each story is an important part of an open narrative about abortion, and is central to removing the stigma around the choice each of us has to determine what is right for our lives and our bodies. Required reading.
September 29, 2017
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED- this is a must on your shelves understanding how abortion is a human right, a better understanding of reproductive justice, with the access to abortion from many eyes across range of identities, from being a patient to a doctor, from a POC escort to a grandmother who had an abortion before Roe vs. Wade- each story will leave you heart-touched.
July 15, 2018
I want to buy everyone a copy. This was amazing. It's a collection of comics telling the abortion stories of several individuals. These stories are so important to share. I felt so emotional but so motivated reading this story. We have to fight against the stigma. Abortions are a necessary part of life. People need to understand this. Share these stories, stand up for these women. READ THIS BOOK.
October 12, 2020
Oh this made me so mad! It makes me so upset that legislators and various groups of bigots are trying to take away a person's right to their own body and life by fucking with abortion rights and providers. How fucking dare you. How???
Anyway, this was a great collection of comics. The quality naturally varied and I wish the ending and beginning points of each comic had been made clearer, but overall I really enjoyed this. Or enjoyed is perhaps the wrong word, this made me SO UPSET. But definitely informative and evocative. I really appreciate the variety of stories and perspectives represented.

I've been wanting to read this for a while and then Roe was overturned. I cried. I wanted to educate myself. This helped me feel a little better. Abortion is healthcare. I've known people who have had an abortion. A relative had an ectopic pregnancy and might have needed one. When I was a tween I was in a summer debate class at Sac State, one of the topics (the only one I remember) was abortion. I was pro-choice then, but it felt odd because I felt that I had to hide that as I have a VERY Catholic grandmother and many of my middle school and then high school peers were not or were only pro-choice in certain situations. I am pro-choice now, just more so.

This anthology is jam-packed with personal stories, informative comics (written by those working within the industry), and even a fictional sci-fi piece. As with many anthologies, there's a disparity in the art quality, but it's balanced out by the honesty and rawness of the stories. Stand-out stories (in my opinion) by Sophia Foster-Domino, Tatiana Gill, CB Hart and Vreni. I hope this book serves as a strong counter-point to the often erroneous pro-life arguments and lets those who need to hear it know that they are not alone.
March 25, 2018
A mixed bag of graphic accounts of abortion stories. I feel strongly about reproductive rights and the rights of women to have control over their bodies and health, so this actually made me angry to read. More and more I'm feeling like I need to take a more active role in my beliefs, and I'm a woman who has never wanted children, whose long-term marriage ended because her husband changed his mind about wanting to become a parent, and who has never, ever, been pregnant or had an abortion. Go figure.

Aaahhh what a great brave sweet touching raw anthology. <3 <3 <3

Hazel Newlevant is finding her mark as an anthology editor. This is another fascinating themed collection.
July 27, 2021
Some of these comics were excellent and some were so-so
November 27, 2022
I purchased my copy physically, very recently, via a local comic book store, but it is also available digitally for pay what you can via their website comics for choice dot com.
content notes for dystopian future, nudity, representation of embryos and gestation, failed birth control, mental health struggles, abuse, unsupportive friends/family, disphoria and SA.
keywords that came to mind reading this anthology: futures, pasts, birthing people, trans liberation, found and chosen family, snark, reality, intersectional, pleasure and pain.
Overall this anthology, as I kind of suspected it would be, was exactly what I was looking for after reading several more personal/individual abortion comics. That is not to cast any aspersions on these other comics, just that I was being struck over and over again by how wide ranging and diverse all the things we should know about abortion access in so called america is. And this anthology felt like it was finally serving a chunk of that up.
There was also recognition that not everyone who can get pregnant is a woman. Men can also get pregnant and need abortions, as can nonbinary people. Although that is not to say that at no point in the book was abortion et all referred to as a woman's issue. Queer sexuality also got represented.
The art was also extremely varied, but all easy to follow. I'm never the biggest fan of using grey tones, but that was only a few of the stories and still well done.
I was surprised that the Plan B weight limit -ish thing didn't come up... Because, assuming what I've read is accurate, there is reason to believe that Plan B is less effective for people over 155 pounds. Which is honestly, a lot of people. Although, it can still work, so don't just not take it because it's less effective.
We did get exploration of the intersection of reproductive rights and class and race, as well as some disability representation as well.
All in all, five stars!

An eclectic collection of comics/graphic short stories about abortion. I appreciated the variety here. For example, there's comics that reflect different ages of people as well as pregnancies, various social locations; ranging attitudes towards people's own pregnancies; roles in terms of including stories from volunteers, doctors, and doulas; and purposes, from exploring the history/various perspectives of "ensoulment" in embryos/fetuses/babies to sharing personal accounts.
Speaking of variety, there is a big range of "quality" (especially considering the art), but overall I liked these! I read this in a few different sittings, and each time I would say, "Okay, just one more," and then I'd read many more than one.
The ordering of the comics is often very helpful in that if a comic assumes some knowledge about abortion history or politics, then that comic is preceded by an informative comic on that topic. I did think it ended quite suddenly, though?

This is an extremely educational collection of comics that discuss the legal history of abortion in the U.S., the medical reasons for needing one, and resources for those seeking reproductive healthcare. It dispels a lot of propaganda myths around the procedure, including lies about how unsafe it is (of course, I'm speaking about its safety with people who are properly trained to perform abortions). Trigger warning since there is mention of abuse and SA in some of the stories.
It's unlikely that someone who is very anti-choice would pick this book up, but it truly is full of so much valuable information that people should know. I learned a lot, and I feel that this resource will become increasingly more valuable to our population as we venture forth into a post-Roe world.

Beautifully illustrated by different artists, this collection of abortion stories offers a refreshingly diverse range of perspectives. Some abortions are easy. Others elicit a range of complicated feelings. "Comics for Choice" doesn't shy away from these embodied and emotional details - which gives it the potential to affirm a lot of people who don't see their experiences reflected in the media. As the National Network of Abortion Funds says, "everyone loves someone who has had an abortion." Like their program, "We Testify," Comics for Choice centers pregnant people and presents their stories with respect and their full range of complexities.

This was a very interesting collection of stories about people who have had abortions, work to support access to abortions, or know and love people who have had abortions. There were certainly comics in this collection I was not a big fan of, but the majority were deeply empathetic and informative. Across gender identification, economic status, race, sexuality, religion, and other factors, no matter your level of understanding about reproductive health and abortion, you are bound to learn something new and identify with a story, even if a small way.
April 26, 2023
This was really great! There are lots of different perspectives in this collection, including some non-binary representation. There's a range of comics, from information-based to testimonies of people who have had abortions. Definitely something to remind you of the importance of bodily autonomy and reproductive justice. There's a works cited in the back for further reading, and small biographies of all the artists & storytellers if you're inspired to check out more of their works. I really enjoyed reading this.
April 24, 2025
A lot of these are timeless comics that still hold relevancy (2017 pub date)and are based on freedom of choice and access to care. However, choice and access to abortion care can also be needed for planned pregnancies that are complicated and/or dangerous. The closest cross over for such a topic in this collection was “Bearing Witness: Life as an Abortion Doula” by Mick Moran. Nevertheless, an empowering and hopeful collection that I hope gets a follow up very soon.
April 19, 2023
It felt very disjointed; I would be reading a very personal story about getting an abortion and then all of a sudden facts and misconceptions about fetuses. I really enjoyed some stories and found myself bored for many others, which also applied to the illustrations. Overall, a very mixed collection.
November 20, 2023
Very informative! Excellent for anyone who wants to know their experiences - both the good and the bad - with abortion is normal. Lots of vulnerable, honest stories. It focuses on U.S. Politics leading up to the mess that is the U.S. today. Overall, excellent book.
November 24, 2017
4.5 reminded me of how many stories are embedded in each person's body, the intimacy of health care and of telling your stories of receiving health care!!

It was difficult reading this book. I had to keep putting it down to stop from crying.
