Notes
- "This book tells the full story of the generation-long fight against abortion. Drawing deeply on her experiences as an abortion provider and target of harassment and violence, Patricia Baird-Windle gives an insider account of life on the front lines. Beginning well before Roe v. Wade, Baird-Windle and journalist Eleanor Bader track every significant anti-abortion action - from blockades and picket lines to break-ins and personal harassment. They offer the voices of 190 providers in the United States and Canada, the clinic owners, doctors, nurses, technicians, and their families who tell what it means to work in a field where violence and the threat of violence are routine."–BOOK JACKET
