Claudine answers “I think this book may be an anti-abortion...”

Teresa asked this question about The Mothers:

So many women thanked in the acknowledgements -- why didn't any of them tell her that's not how this procedure is even performed? I mean, if you don't write what you know, you owe it to readers to do this basic research in order for a book to feel authentic. Wanted to throw the book across the room when I read the phrase "post-abortive father."(less)
