In absence of Roe v. Wade, an abortion doctor dwells on all the patients she does not see
“I actually want people to be less 'careful' when they talk about abortion and lean more toward frankness and honesty.”
Last year, just a few months after the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade ended the constitutional right to abortion in the United States, Christine Henneberg published a memoir on two simultaneous life-defining experiences: carrying her first pregnancy during her first year performing abortions.
This was long after another transformative journey: traveling and living in a rural Indian village at the foothills of the Himalayas when Henneberg first wanted to be a writer. There, she encountered public health in ways that resonated with the legacy of the global health pioneer Paul Farmer and sparked her interest in women’s health.
