Girls on the Verge by Sharon Biggs Waller

No matter where you stand on the abortion issue this book will give you another viewpoint to consider. Camille makes a decision that has an outcome that could affect her for the rest of her life. She had sex, it wasnt even good sex, and even though a condom was used a pregnancy occurred.
What angered me most in this book is how men from a different generation made decisions based on bias and shaming. Whether you feel abortion is a sin or a right every woman should have, take a moment and look at the situation.
Camille made a poor choice but why should it affect the rest of her life. ? Why make her bring a baby into this world that she clearly didnt want, plan for and will have resentment towards child for entire life. Yes adoption is another answer but does this give the child a good life or a lifetime of foster care.
Also once she made the decision best for her, she felt resentment from her best friend who is very anti abortion, made a new friend who is very pro abortion and in the end Camille did what is best for her.
Sadly she shouldnt have to go to court seeking permission only to be made to feel like a prostitute and be told NO she doesnt know what is right for her . SO she goes searching for pills to end the pregnancy in Mexico and then is directed to New Mexico for the answer she WANTS
