The Choices We Made: Twenty-five Women And Men Speak Out About Abortion
(Angela Bonavoglia)
At a time when a woman''s right to choose is again coming under siege, this masterful collection of essays succeeds in framing what the abortion issue really is about. Full of passionate commentary by Anne Archer, Whoopi Goldberg, Gloria Steinem, and other notables, The Choices We Made makes an irrefutable case for the need to protect safe, legal abortions for the sake of saving women''s lives and protecting their most fundamental rights. This compelling book leaves no stone unturned in addressing this major social issue--and makes obvious the fact that it is not a struggle between pro-life and anti-life forces (since everyone loves life, and everyone seeks to protect it), but rather a struggle between pro-choice and anti-choice advocates. The stories of ordinary women''s lives (and ordinary women''s untimely, gruesome deaths) make painfully clear the horrors that lack of Choice brings. Those same stories make the arrogance and pompous self-righteousness of those anti-abortion foes who will lobby, intimidate, terrorize, and sometimes kill in the name of intolerance and religious fanaticism, both alarming and unfathomable. This is a book that men and women alike should read; a book that calls all those who believe in fairness, justice, and freedom to action. It is a book that is inspiring to all those who refuse to surrender their civil rights to the hordes of closed-minded religious fundamentalists who seek to impose their own sense of morality even at the expense of women''s freedom (and, worse yet, at the expense of women''s lives). Don''t just read this book--give it to someone else too!
