“A powerful message about the reality of being a doctor who provides abortions in the United States. Dr. Wicklund writes about her own abortion as a young woman, her difficult journy through college and medical school as the mother of a young child, and her mission to provide the option of abortion to women in several different states. She flies from state to state to work at the widely scattered clinics that provide abortion as a choice, which can be hundreds of miles away from their client base, as in rural Montana. She has private security, a bulletproof vest, and a handgun she carries at all times.
I appreciate Dr. Wicklund's honesty and willingness to portray the various reasons why her patients sought abortions, as well as the constant pressure from anti-abortion protesters and activists. Her experience goes back more than 20 years, and yet things haven't changed that much, as seen by the recent murder of Dr. Tiller in Wichita. ”
