More about the book

Challenging the notions of medical eugenics, this book shares the powerful narratives of women who chose to give birth despite societal and medical pressure against it. They confront the ideals of perfection and the simplistic views surrounding abortion, emphasizing the intrinsic value of all lives, regardless of perceived disabilities. By questioning the validity of screening procedures and the criteria for a "worthy" life, the book sheds light on complex issues often overlooked in mainstream discussions, advocating for a broader understanding of disability and motherhood.
