“Inside personal pain is power. Inside the pain of abortion is knowledge about death and rebirth, about change, about relationships, about Life. When we put our knowledge and power together, we grow in ways that are true to our essential nature.”
—from the Introduction
“The intensely personal spiritual and psychological task of self-development is also an historical task, as personal life always takes place in the context of human history and the life of the planet. Nothing that happens to us personally happens in a vacuum. It is always surrounded and contained by larger social and spiritual realities.”
—from Chapter 1
“Abortion, like birth, places women at life’s doorway. Both are about the reproduction of life and the innate power of women. Our experience of pregnancy and abortion takes place in the context of historically evolving female identity. Within the personal experience of each woman lies an essential piece of the collective story of all women. Both women and men, personally and collectively, are moving away from a male-dominated, property-over-people society to a society that puts human needs and relationships first.”
—from Chapter 2
