Excellent.

This book focuses in on the unfortunate reality that women seeking abortion are rarely, if ever, given information about the known risks. This means that most women who have chosen abortion did not give their informed consent, since they weren't given all the facts.

His Best Work

Making Abortion Rare goes beyond Aborted Women, Silent No More by providing ideas for disseminating information to women considering abortion and protecting their legal rights to sue for malpractice.
