description: Unless the majority voice is heard American women are about to loose their fundamental rights. This book has the potential to motivate people to act before we lose our choices. THE A WORD is about a woman s right to choose for herself. The majority of Americans, over sixty percent, support a woman s right to choose but few women of childbearing age can remember life before Roe v. Wade, when terminating an unwanted pregnancy was a criminal offense often performed at great risk to the woman s health. People don t fully grasp the extent of the if they don t act now, the bad old days will return. THE A WORD focuses on those bad old days, and on what we can do to prevent the loss of women s hard won rights Tragedy, anguish, danger and death still occur wherever legal abortions are denied. If we do not act now to stop the attempts to end our hard won abortion rights we will have failed miserably; as individuals, as Americans, and as people who claim to celebrate and respect life.
