A Disturbing Book

I’m not sure what Irene Vilar will accomplish by publishing her book “Impossible Motherhood: Testimony of an Abortion Addict.”

The South Florida  Sun Sentinel describes Vilar in this article  “… a striking 40-year-old literary agent … from the age of 16 to 33, she could neither stop herself from conceiving, nor from terminating her pregnancies. Fifteen of them.”

Charmaine Yost, president of Americans United for Life said, “Her story is just so tragic. It really underscores everything we always say in the pro-life movement — that abortion is part of a very sad story for women.”

The article also quotes Robin Morgan, who wrote the book’s forward, “There is a perfectly human tendency to say we can’t afford ambiguity, we can’t afford nuance. I am afraid it comes from years of being pummeled by the extreme, anti-choice right. The truth is it’s a complicated issue.”

I believe Ms. Morgan’s perspective contributes to the complexity she states. I’m curious who she includes in the so-called “extreme, anti-choice right.”
