This book came out of a film I took part in, made by Gina Newson . Women talked to me about why they had chosen to have abortions, how  the experience impacted on their lives. Had the attitudes of doctors and nurses, the support they had in private life, whether they felt judged or not,  been significant in whether they felt guilt, regret, relief, at ease or tormented afterwards.It was selected for the Feminist Writer’s top award the year of publication.
