Abortion - Johanna Payton

Abortion is never an easy option, but its a choice that an estimated one in three women will make in their lifetime. Along with the burden of their decision, most women also face a lack of information. This book helps women of all ages, in any circumstances, make an informed decision. In a nonjudgemental and unbiased way, it explores and demystifies abortion, setting aside politics to focus on the experiences of real women. Women thinking of having an abortion can read everything they need to know about their rights, the treatment options available and how they may feel during the process. Theyll also find practical tips and advice on making a good recovery. If youre supporting a partner, daughter, friend or patient through an abortion, youll find essential information here, along with strategies for helping someone during this challenging time. Abortion isnt fun for anyone, but this impartial book can help you through the experience confidently, healthily and with your best interests in check.
