Through a Kickstarter campaign, Finch raised money to donate copies of this book to clinics to serve women waiting for an abortion. Searching through cultures of past and present in the United States and globally, Finch unearthed an astonishing diversity of authors who had written about abortion through fiction, poetry, plays, essays, autobiographies, liturgies, and rituals.

Shame, fear, vulnerability, poverty, isolation.
