This compelling history explores one of the twentieth century's
most unusual religious endeavors—the collective defiance of
American clergy who were willing to help direct women to illegal
but safe abortions. No previous account of the Clergy Consultation
Service has told their whole story so thoroughly and vividly.""
—Cynthia Gorney,author of Articles of Faith: A Frontline History of
the Abortion Wars
"Provides a compelling account of the important, but nearly
forgotten development in the abortion debate: the advent in 1967 of
the first organized religious support for abortion rights." - The
Times Literary Supplement
