8. I found that book

in a PP clinic in 1972 and it was a real eye opener for me. The one quote I remember from it has been like a mantra whenever I had to argue about abortion and pregnancy issues with others...

(paraphrasing but the point is clear and exactly what I repeat year after year) "... when a woman is pregnant and she wants a child, it's a baby; when she is not wanting a child, it's a medical issue that needs attention."

Never forgot that description of a reality that was of concern to every sexually active person I knew during the pre-Roe years and even well afterward.

And bravo to these brave women for producing this book and keeping it alive. I have seen it in PP lobbies throughout the country over the years and champion all who advocate for it and make it available to all women and men.
