A Necessary Kindness

In this urgent and illuminating book, a midwife who works in abortion care shares the stories of the women she helps, revealing the misunderstood world of abortion clinics and giving us the facts we need to understand the issues 'Told with wisdom and kindness. I recommend that everyone reads this book.' ANNA KENT, author of FRONTLINE MIDWIFE 'Give this book to every anti-choice or apathetic bystander you know.' BENJAMIN BLACK, author of BELLY WOMAN One in three UK women will have an abortion in their lifetime, yet shame and secrecy still surround this essential healthcare. Through intimate, deeply human stories from her clinic - where she helps mothers, students and women whose home countries don't give them the freedom to choose - abortion nurse Juno Carey reveals how her work changes and saves lives. As reproductive freedoms face new threats the world over, A Necessary Kindness is a vital resource that makes clear why and how these rights must be protected.
