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.

"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.
