challenging emotional informative slow-paced

4.0

I hope this book reaches many people - those on the fence about the abortion debate, sure (I suspect the vast majority of people who would pick up a book like this are pro-choice already), but mostly I hope that as many young people as possible can read this and know that abortion is normal. I appreciated the diversity of stories included. Favorites for me included "October" by Kris Louis (abortion from the perspective of a trans person), "Bearing Witness: Life as an Abortion Doula" by Mick Moran (about supporting folks through abortion and the concept of holding space), and "Nothing Feels Real" by Vreni.
