Synopsis

This powerful book challenges the narrative that abortion is a simple procedure without lasting emotional impact. Through the personal accounts of 18 women and insights from over 200 others, it reveals the profound grief and trauma experienced after an abortion. Australian journalist Melinda Tankard Reist explores the societal pressures, lack of support, and misinformation that often accompany these difficult decisions, giving voice to stories that have long been silenced.
