Hardback. Condición: Very Good. "The narrative unfolds like a high-stakes crime novel."--Kirkus Reviews In 1898, a group of schoolboys in Bridgeport, Connecticut discovered gruesome packages under a bridge holding the dismembered remains of a young woman. Finding that the dead woman had just undergone an abortion, prosecutors raced to establish her identity and fix blame for her death. Suspicion fell on Nancy Guilford, half of a married pair of "doctors" well known to police throughout New England. A fascinated public followed the suspect's flight from justice, as many rooted for the fugitive. The Disquieting Death of Emma Gilltakes a close look not only at the Guilfords, but also at the cultural shifts and social compacts that allowed their practice to flourish while abortion was both illegal and unregulated. Focusing on the women at the heart of the story--both victim and perpetrator--Biederman reexamines this slice of history through a feminist lens and reminds us of the very real lives at stake when a woman's body and choices are controlled by others.…

Since delivering his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama has been hailed as the clear savior of not only the Democratic party, but of the integrity of American politics.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The morality of abortion has emerged at the hot button issue of 21 C America. Steeped in controversy since the founding of the American colonies, legalized by the decision of Roe V. Wade, abortion remains the major spiritual, political, and theological divide among a nation of 300 million. Although the battle lines between the Pro-Life and Pro-Choice camps have been drawn and fortified by good people on both sides, the author challenges all comers to enter into the thick of the abortion question. Drawing upon the embodiment argument of Beverly Wildung Harrison, the overarching need for the in-breaking of God afresh daily in concrete lives lifted up by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and an examination of a twist in the thesis of Reinhold Niebuhr (Immoral Wo/man and Moral Society), the author provokes the readers to the increased and sometimes unbearable tension of finding the voice of the other in our own selves. Shocking in its candid drive to seek a new path, Abortion in 21st Century America will broaden and sharpen our understanding of abortion in America.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. All of us have suffered the pain and regret of past choices. The wounds of abortion are especially difficult as we often hesitate to talk about them. Yet for every woman who's made that painful choice, there is a story deep in her heart that wants to be told. Worthy of Love is your invitation to discover the healing, forgiveness, and ultimate victory that God offers through Christ. As you join Shadia and journey through your stories together, you will find the courage to face your past, understand your present, and embrace a future of hope, healing, and victory. This 8-session story-driven interactive study includes personal reflection questions, Scripture assignments, memory verses, prayer, and journaling. You will explore such topics as: - Lies we believe - Secrets we keep - Masks we wear - Burdens we carry . . . and how to embrace the victory available to you through Christ Shadia has spoken to countless of women-some who recently experienced abortion and others in their 90s still bound by the grief and shame.

Hardback. Condición: Good. From the author of I Hate Men, a personal and political reflection on abortion rights. Discussion about abortion and associated rights are often limited to either 'anti-abortion' or 'pro-choice', the latter of which focuses on the importance of having the right to choose, rather than on what that right means for real people. In this timely essay, Pauline Harmange provides an intimate, detailed account of her abortion. Reminiscent of Annie Ernaux's Happening, Abortion is nuanced, complex, honest, and precise. Harmange gives voice to the emotions, reflections, and contradictions that someone could experience when they choose to terminate a pregnancy. At a time in which women's reproductive rights are being called into question around the world, Abortion is a clarion call, a powerful personal testimony, and a resolutely political vision: to restore power to our experiences, all our experiences, by sharing them, and to transform society for the better. …

Paperback. Condición: Good. After a terrible misjudgment in the delivery room, Dr. John Bruchalski realized that with every pregnant woman he attends, there are two patients--the mother and her unborn child. In addition to this discovery, two remarkable spiritual experiences deepened his understanding of the kind of man he had become and the one he was called to be.Two Patients is the story of how a physician who practiced abortion came to question the medical status quo and to pioneer an approach to reproductive medicine that respects female fertility, honors the dignity of unborn children, and o­ ers care to patients regardless of their financial situation. Such health care, writes Dr. John Bruchalski, is merciful medicine, and his memoir gives a glimpse of just how merciful the relationship between a doctor and his two patients--mother and child-- can be.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. ★"Required reading for teens of every gender."--Booklist, starred review Abortion is one of the most common of all medical procedures. But it is still stigmatized, and all too often people do not feel they can talk about their experiences. Making abortion illegal or hard to access doesn't make it any less common; it just makes it dangerous. Around the world, tens of thousands of women die from unsafe abortions every year. People who support abortion rights have been fighting hard to create a world in which the right to access safe and legal abortion services is guaranteed. The opposition to this has been intense and sometimes violent, and victories have been hard won. The long fight for abortion rights is being picked up by a new generation of courageous, creative and passionate activists. This book is about the history, and the future, of that fight.…
