Summary: A book every woman should read
Review: "Pro-Choice" people are for the murdering of their inoccent pre-born babies. All babies have the right to life, no one has the right to take another life. Legalized murder must be stopped. Would you be "pro-choice" if the abortionist was coming after you?!

Summary: Angry hate rhetoric...
Review: According to Planned Parenthood's own annual reports, during Gloria Feldt's presidency, the controversial organization has terminated 1,307,313 children. During the same period of time, abortions at Planned Parenthood facilities have increased by 62.5% annually while national abortion rates were dropping.The American Institute of Philanthropy's "Charity Watchdog Report," reports that Mrs. Feldt is among the Top 25 highest-paid nonprofit executives in the nation with reported annual compensation of $447,863. Trying to make even MORE money from the brutal dismemberment of children, Feldt's newest book is an angry, hateful attack on people of faith and conscience who oppose the harm done by her organization. The only reason that this book gets one star is because it exposes Feldt's true nature, which is a service to those who are working to shut down Planned Parenthood facilities around the country. Don't waste your money on this book. You can read the whole first chapter online at Feldt's "War on Choice" website. That'll be more than enough inflammatory rhetoric for most people...

Summary: Empowering
Review: As a man who cares about women (unlike the current administration) this book opened my eyes to just how good ol' boy the world of hate has become. This book transcends the usual abortion rhetoric and delves into the terribly frightening side of what women are up against in America today. I applaud Gloria Feldt for her work on this book and for her work empowering women. Every man, woman and young adult should read this book to make the world a better place.

Summary: Personal Stories and Universal Facts
Review: As a student who works with pregnant college students
and studies women's issues, I am intimately acquainted
with the ins and outs of anti-choice attacks on
women's rights. I bought the War on Choice anyway
though, because I've always been a big supporter of
Planned Parenthood's work and because I wanted to see
what Gloria Feldt's book had to offer. As I had
expected, her analysis was insightful and the book was
well researched. But what was particularly striking,
to me, was the level of personal detail Feldt used and
the warm and intimate tone her writing conveyed.
Combining her personal experience as a pregnant
teenage bride in Texas with her thorough knowledge of
the reproductive rights world, Feldt's book manages to
educate and entertain at the same time. A must-read!

Summary: An important book for everyone to read
Review: Feldt does an excellent job of showing how the pro-life/anti-choice agenda is not just about abortion, but is actually part of a broader plan to control reproduction according to extreme religious views. I was absolutely shocked to learn about some of the blatantly health hazardous actions the Bush administration has taken, affecting women and famililes in the U.S. and around the world very negatively. A must read for 2004.

Summary: Eye opener
Review: Gloria Feldt's book is an eye opener and just what we need right now. I had truly believed that my fundamental rights as women to make my own reproductive choices could not be taken away. She broke through the rhetoric and lies used by the right-wing extremist and helped me see how wrong I had been. This book has been a real wake-up for me and has shown me that I can't take my personal freedoms for granted. A must read.

Summary: Complacent No Longer!
Review: Growing up during the 80s and 90s I always took my
reproductive rights for granted. I'm somewhat
politically active, so I certainly knew that my rights
were being threatened. But even as a well-educated
woman, I had no idea of the scope of the attacks on my
rights. Some of the anti-choice activities that Feldt
chronicles are obvious ones that I already knew about.
Going to a liberal school and always having access to
birth control, however, I never really felt that I
personally would be affected by them. But what was
really amazing about The War on Choice was the way it
explained the insidious connections between seemingly
unrelated attempts to make the fetus a person and deny
women access to abortion and birth control and
whatever other family planning services they want or
need. This book was a true awakening - after reading
it I was certainly disturbed, but I was also motivated
and energized. You will be too!

Summary: Every woman should read this
Review: I feel that this book is a harsh reality check for women...I talk to so many girls, and older women who have NO IDEA that we are hanging by a string for our rights to make a decision. I respect the opinion of women who do not support abortion, however i do not respect the opinion of not being able to think for myself, and being compared to a terrorist simply for believing that i should have the right to decide wether to have an abortion or not. BUT, what i should of said first and foremost...is that this entire Women's Right Attack, is NOT just on having an abortion or not. It is an attack on everything from birth control to education, to religion, etc...I THINK THIS IS WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT. Women need to realize what lies in the balance..and this book tells you the way it really is!!!!

Summary: Ridiculous
Review: I read this book hoping to hear some sane arguments from what I assumed would be a sensible person, the president of Planned Parenthood, but was ultimately disappointed. Like most pro-choice people in positions of influence, Gloria Feldt chooses to demonize her opposition as a bunch of nutballs who want to roll back women's rights as part of their dangerous political agenda. Apparently it doesn't even occur to her, or she just doesn't want to acknowledge, that most of these people are just doing what they think is right. Most pro-lifers are good, decent people who have some very serious moral problems with what is happening to millions of our unborn children, not the "anti-choice extremists" that Mrs. Feldt refers to in her book (if they can call us anti-choice, can we call them anti-life? just asking). My faith and most of biology tells me that the baby growing in a woman's womb is in fact alive, so excuse me if the thought of killing it makes me more than just a little uncomfortable.

Summary: This Book Made Me Pro-Choice
Review: I will admit that i have strong opinions about things. However while I have developed strong stances against war and the death penalty, and in favor of women, people of color and homosexuals one of the very few issues that i found that i could go either way on would be abortion.
However I felt like this particular book in outlining the history of a woman's right to choose made me realize that it is essential for women to maintain the right to choose. It really opened my eyes to the fact that regardless of what my moral stance on abortion is, it is a legal and medical necessity to make sure that a woman's right to choose is maintained.
My only cricticism of the book is that it tended to focus more on the history of Planned Parenthood at times instead of the history of the pro-choice movement. However I think understanding the history of Planned Parenthood is vital to understanding at least part of the pro-choice movement. I would have liked to have more information at times regarding things that contributed to the movement other than Planned Parenthood. However this is probably on my list of books that I think that George Bush should read.
