"Abortion is as hard to talk about sensibly as to deal with politically. Kate Maloy and Maggie Patterson have helped us all. By letting us hear people on both sides tell their own stories, they move the debate beyond rhetoric and abstractions. By their scrupulous effort to listen to all sides, they also move us along politically, pointing us in a promising direction. A stimulating, provocative, thoughtful book." (Daniel Callahan, Director, The Hastings Center; author of What Kind of Life: The Limits of Medical Progress. Sidney Callahan, Psychologist; author of In Good Conscience: Reason and Emotion in Moral Decision Making.)
"The stories collected in this sensitive book take readers inside the intimate lives of their friends and neighbors, revealing the emotional and the ethical complexity of reproductive decision making. After reading this book, one better understands why abortion is truly the right choice for some women and the wrong choice for others." (Anita Allen-Castellito, Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center; author of Uneasy Access: Privacy for Women in Free Society.)
