Abortion Is a Blessing

Description

"A moving account by a woman who understands the emotional truths behind the demand for abortion." --Gloria Steinem"So much of what has been written about abortion has been apologetic -- and been written by men. It is refreshing to have this forthright statement by a feminist who has been a leader in the abortion reform movement. Ms. Gaylor articulates the anger of all feminists with a society that is attempting to subvert the United States Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion" --Betty Friedan"Required reading for anyone who still does not comprehend the tragedy of unwanted pregnancy . . . and for those who must debate the question. A poignant human report filled with compassion and genuine love of humanity." --Marion K. Sanders"Finally, a book that focuses on the only, truly qualified, illegal abortion experts -- the women themselves. Their voices have not been heard in the abortion debates of recent years. Anne Gaylor, who counseled thousands of these women, tells their stories with compassion and understanding. Ms. Gaylor spares no one in her trenchant analysis of where the responsibility lies for the suffering, degradation and death caused by anti-abortion laws. She documents the role doctors have played in this. She exposes the tactics and motivations of the so-called Right-to-Lifers, who are determined to overthrow the U.S. Supreme Court decisions legalizing abortion. Invaluable for all those who care about keeping abortion legal and safe, this book is also a must for those who want all the facts before making up their minds on this issue." --Beatrice Blair, Executive Director of National Abortion Rights Action League.
