Has anyone read this?
Thoughts?
Towards the end I was all abortion-ed out.
I can see why she wrote it in a place like America
I just found it so far removed from here/my reality, having grown up with women being able to have the choice and that being the norm and shocking with the protesters outside and the ridiculous calling it 'a murder factory' and an abortion factory'.
Is it really common for people to be this out there in America?
The attitudes of the pro-lifers still made me angry.
I didn't particularly want to read about the details of the abortion.

It said in the book that the state had to tell you that having an abortion increases your risk of breast cancer even when there's no medical evidence to show this? Is this true? I don't understand this.

I liked the twist with Bex and Hugh.
And I guess I liked the fact that you could see that the shooter was still a human being with feelings as well if you see what I mean. And the twist with him.

Reading the epilogue was a bit shocking really. It's just so far removed from here. And since the book was published it's got worse.

Are women/girls like Beth really arrested for getting an abortion?

I mean I know we all hear about the law in America but when you read books like this I guess you really think about it
