The author of this book interviewed clinic staff and abortion patients. She record womens' stories (along with some stories from men) about their abortion experiences. This is a really in depth look at why women get abortions and what it is like for them. It is an old book but I don't really think all that much has changed. A definite eye-opener. It surpised me how diverse these women were- a good unbiased book (although the author is pro-choice) that really taught me a lot about abortion.
