In This Common Secret Dr. Susan Wicklund chronicles her emotional
and dramatic twenty-year career on the front lines of the abortion
war. Growing up in working class, rural Wisconsin, Wicklund had her
own painful abortion at a young age. It was not until she became a
doctor that she realized how many women shared her ordeal of an
unwanted pregnancy,and how hidden this common experience remains.
This is the story of Susan's love for a profession that means
listening to women and helping them through one of the most pivotal
and controversial events in their lives. Hers is also a calling
that means sleeping on planes and commuting between clinics in
different states,and that requires her to wear a bulletproof vest
and to carry a .38 caliber revolver. This is also the story of the
women whom Susan serves, women whose options are increasingly
limited. Through these intimate, complicated, and inspiring
accounts, Wicklund reveals the truth about the women's clinics that
anti-abortion activists portray as little more than slaughterhouses
for the unborn. As we enter the most fevered political fight over
abortion America has ever seen, this raw and powerful memoir shows
us what is at stake.
