Abortion touches all of our lives. While statistically nearly everyone knows someone who will receive an abortion in their lifetime, limiting narratives flatten our understanding and assumptions around abortion, while stigma and criminalization stifle discussion. What we lack are the language and tools to provide care and support to all of the members of our communities who receive abortions, before, during, and after them.

Finally, a book that can help us talk and connect about abortion
Revisado: 05-31-23
For so many people, the issue of their abortion or need for abortion, is so stigmatized, politicized, and moralized that they may feel forced into silence by shame, guilt, fear and so many other emotional and physical hurdles, which can cause them to feel demoralized, traumatized and isolated.
The Supreme Court decision on Roe v Wade was exactly 50 years ago, during my late teens. And now, as of my reading of this book, and in my post childbearing years, I am stunned and heartbroken that our country has been plunged back in to chaos around abortion and pregnant people’s human rights with the overturning of Roe. During these past 50 years there was for many of us a sense of legal security for abortion, but we did not go far enough to create the necessary vocabulary, affirmations and support that would have helped to normalize and protect abortion rights. So now, as the U.S. moves forward in a post Roe environment, I believe that it is more important than ever for people to have the resources and vocabulary to better communicate about abortion, support pregnant people and their choices and demolish the violent laws that are criminalizing abortion and denying pregnant people their basic human rights to make their own decisions regarding their bodies.
Through the writing of this book, Ms Matthews has given us some of the necessary tools, resources and vocabulary to aid in normalized conversations about abortion. She is an artful writer who helps the reader experience a wholistic view of abortion, the stories, the raw emotions, the community, the humanity and most of all the love around abortion. I am deeply grateful for her insights as I feel more empowered now to use my own voice in this conversation.

For 12,000 years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future - to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save humankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire - both scientists and scholars - and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.

Really interesting if somewhat dated exploration of politics, religion and power. A Cold War antidote, maybe. Oddly Platonic, too, with its suggestion of back-door ascension of philosopher kings.
