Description: "This book tells the real story of abortion in America, one that captures a disturbing reality of sometimes insurmountable barriers put in front of women trying to exercise their legal rights to medical services.

There is a better way-treating abortion like any other form of health care-but the United States is a long way from that ideal"--
Review Quotes: "The authors present the actual experience [of abortion], and in doing so reveal the courage, intelligence and determination of patients, often dismissed as confused or selfish, and providers, often attacked as heartless and greedy."-- "Washington Post"
