Choices is an unapologetically one-sided glimpse of the rough roads traveled by many American women seeking abortions. This slim, eloquent volume has its share of hard cases--one woman was raped, another was carrying a baby not expected to live long after birth. It testifies passionately to what it was like to beg for a "therapeutic" abortion or go through the frightening ordeal of finding and surviving an illegal operation. "If you can't trust a woman with a choice," says an actress forever scarred by a back-alley abortion, "how can you trust her with a child?" Several women who had legal abortions after state and federal laws changed speak out about running the gauntlet of zealous pro-life demonstrators. The book was conceived by NARAL, the National Abortion Rights Action League, which has struggled for decades to make and keep abortion legal. In neat summation of NARAL's battle cry, one writer who had a legal abortion flatly states: "Women who have benefited from the freedom to choose have got to stand up for it."
