They Lied to Us too is the second book in a series by author Victoria Robinson. In her first book, They Lied to Us, the author shares stories from women who chose abortion, and how that decision impacted their lives. In this sophomore release, Ms. Robinson focuses on men and the abortion issue. Whether these men participated in an abortion by convincing their partners to choose abortion, coerced her, or they did not know she was pregnant, these stories share how their lives were also impacted as as result. These men represent the "forgotten fathers" no one is talking about.
A powerful set of stories with heart wrenching affects from which men came back from. The emotional and mental effects of abortion can be long reaching in one's life. This would be an excellent book to aid men in their understanding of abortion and who consider an abortion; perhaps they may change their minds just from the effects these women experienced. Well worth the time to read, even if just to gain a background on this subject.
This book is similar in format to Ms. Robinson's first volume, "They Lied to Us." This collection of testimonies is written by the men themselves from the perspective of men with abortion experience, which is captivating because 1) men's parallel experiences with abortion are not often shared, and 2) it demands the deepest regards of responsibility understood by the reader. When every aborted human has a father, considering the perspective of half of the parental duo is so important for understanding abortion in society. Heartbreaking, heart wrenching, and thought-provoking, the testimonies in this book have followed me in my thoughts on this and many other subjects.
A must-read for any person interested in what real-life abortion experience is like, and an much needed safe space to let some know that they are not alone.
