asked:
is the title of this book ironic or is just me? this book isn't about making choices. it is definitely attempting to make a choice for you. this isn't about the divide in America concerning abortion either. If it was, it was would be nonpartisan/impartial. This is just a book that demonizes the left and attacks women's rights. This book only furthers the divide and is gonna change literally 0 minds. smh...

It doesn't attack women's rights. It points out that once a necessary evil, abortion is now an excuse to be lazy and irresponsible (rape notwithstanding). Don't judge before you read it.

note: if you are gonna read one book about abortion, do NOT make it this one. I'm not saying find a pro-choice one. Find a legitimately 100% impartial one that approaches BOTH sides of this *very* real divide in a fair, empathetic, and nuanced way.
I mean seriously, how is demonizing a majority of the country (read: there are more registered democrats than republicans iirc) gonna change anyone's mind. anti-abortion people may agree though some may agree this tactic to support an anti-abortion mindset is fairly terrible as it's only gonna repulse people are pro-choice, and - again - not change any minds. You don't wanna write like an antagonist in your rhetoric. You should try for a more protagonist-like tone for your cause. People are more likely to listen to heroes versus villains - for obvious reasons.

The title isn't ironic. "Choice" is the operative word on one side of the debate, and the purpose of the book is to argue that not all choices are good. What's wrong with that?
