⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A suspension (gunshot), buried from the very beginning, unearthed at the very end with multiple surprises. It’s a well-researched book, an outcome of hundreds of interviews with women who sought abortions, medical practitioners, and pro-life & pro-choice activists, and researches by shadowing doctors performing abortions at different stages of pregnancy. I loved the author’s approach to explore this contentious issue by dissecting the arguments, without judgement, layer by layer from each side. Ultimately it is about understanding, not convincing the other side.
