Until the late 1960s, the authorities on abortion were for the
mostpart men-politicians, clergy, lawyers, physicians, all of
whomhad an interest in regulating women's bodies. Even today, when
wehear women speak publicly about abortion, the voices are usually
thoseof the leaders of women's and abortion rights
organizations,women who hold political office, and, on occasion,
female physicians.We also hear quite frequently from spokeswomen
for anti-abortiongroups. Rarely, however, do we hear the voices of
ordinarywomen-women whose lives have been in some way touched
byabortion. Their thoughts typically owe more to human circumstance
thanto ideology, and without them, we run the risk of thinking and
talkingabout the issue of abortion only in the abstract. Without
Apology seeks to address this issue by gatheringthe voices of
activists, feminists, and scholars as well as abortionproviders and
clinic support staff alongside the stories of women whoseexperience
with abortion is more personal. With the particular aim ofmoving
beyond the polarizing rhetoric that has characterized the issueof
abortion and reproductive justice for so long, WithoutApology is an
engrossing and arresting account that will promoteboth reflection
and discussion.
