I think Oberman is a little generous in her portrayal of what “pro-life” people want and she could have done a better job of addressing race (e.g. do CPC leaders view Black people as a victim of a system that encourages abortion or just white women? I think we all know the answer lmao) With that being said, this book left me thinking in both legal and practical terms about what a post-roe US looks like.

I was eager to read this book. As a women's healthcare provider who works with women from low-income backgrounds, there were not too many abortion-related facts that were new to me*, but they were presented in a dispassionate and clear manner that could perhaps make more of an impact on someone than other delivery styles. I hope this is read by many people and has a wide-ranging influence.

*I did find a lot of the inter-anti-abortion politics new and interesting.

Fantastic book written with compassion and fairness. I can’t recommend this book strongly enough.

This book makes a fantastic point again and again: those who oppose abortion very often oppose making motherhood more accessible to everyone. If you can’t walk the walk, don’t talk the talk.

Although this book was short, it was quite a dense read. It's not for everyone. If you're super passionate about this issue, I would recommend reading this, but if you're not, it's one that you can pass up.

I thought that some of Oberman's interviews were interesting and I did learn a few things that I found fascinating. I wish that she would have spent more time focusing on the abortion laws on El Salvador for I thought that there was a lot to unpack there that we weren't able to fully explore.
