The Abortionist: A Woman Against the Law by Rickie Solinger
4.0
I enjoyed the second half of the book more than the first, but overall was an interesting portrayal and dive into the life and practice of Ruth Barnett, an abortion provider for nearly 50 years in Portland, OR, who served women seeking illegal abortions.
I got lost some in the description of all the different abortion providers and their connections to Rankin and the abortion syndicate, but greatly appreciated learning about a woman of resolute conviction and courage, recognizing the needs of women and the immorality of the law, providing an incredible service to a massive number of women.
