You're the only one I've told : the stories behind abortion / Dr. Meera Shah. by Shah, Meera (Physician), author. Chicago, Illinois : Chicago Review Press, [2020] Subjects Abortion.   Abortion services. ISBN:  9781641603638 (hardcover) : 1641603631 (hardcover) Description:  298 pages ; 24 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  For a long time, when people asked Dr. Meera Shah what she did, she would tell them she was a doctor and leave it at that. But over the last few years, Shah decided it was time to be direct. I'm an abortion provider, she will now say. And an interesting thing started to happen each time she met someone new. One by one, people would confide at barbecues, at jury duty, in the middle of the greeting card aisle at Target that in fact they'd had an abortion themselves. And the refrain was often the same: You're the only one I've told. This book collects those stories as they've been told to Shah to humanize abortion and to combat myths that persist in the discourse that surrounds it. An intentionally wide range of ages, races, socioeconomic factors, and experiences shows that abortion always occurs in a unique context. Today, a healthcare issue that's so precious and foundational to reproductive, social, and economic freedom for millions of people is exploited by politicians who lack understanding or compassion about the context in which abortion occurs. Stories have power to break down stigmas and help us to empathize with those whose experiences are unlike our own. They can also help us find community and a shared sense of camaraderie over experiences just like ours. You're the Only One I've Told will do both.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.19888 Sh Checked out 05/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.19888 Shah Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.19888 Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
