“Judy Juanita's stories are wonderfully weird, hilarious, heart-breaking and full of vital, pulsing life.”

Abortion (Or Woman As Threefold Murderess) is a book by a pro-choice writer who looks at abortion in four genres—poetry, fiction, testimony, and essays— beginning with her mother’s Depression-era decision not to abort, and traces how shame, faith, and morality shape women’s choices to abort or carry to term. The book reveals the complexities that arise for black women, black activists, and women in general.
