I can see how it might be uncomfortable for some. I can't say I have gotten a pro-abortion vibe at all from this book. More so, it's a look at the conditions women faced back then, the lack of proper education and services available to them in regards to their general health. And why clinics like Planned Parenthood became so important--not for abortions as some associate them with today--but just providing a wide variety of medical treatments to women including contraceptives, especially to those who can't afford it. Sanger's desire to legalize contraceptives was in part to avoid women having to get abortions--or perform them on themselves, which some women ended up doing out of desperation. <br /><br />Thank you for your comment!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-65706341290775181132016-04-06T16:59:44.878-07:002016-04-06T16:59:44.878-07:00Catherine - I can see why she's one of your he...Catherine - I can see why she's one of your heroes!
