Courageous Women Speak Out on Abortion

Since Roe v. Wade in 1973, there have been more than 45 million abortions performed in the United States. Many post-abortive women suffer from some symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These women, emotionally battered by their symptoms, are often hesitant to talk openly about their ordeal.

She says of the book: These short, riveting stories explain the desperate situations that drove each of them to choose abortion, describe their abortion experiences, tell of the heartbreaking afte.
