Allanson depicts with stark reality the perspectives of all involved, the killer, the right to lifers, and the people who need the clinics services to help them deal with the trauma and tribulations taking place in their own lives. Nobody could read this book and be unaffected. [Allansons] understanding of the ways in which people respond and need to be responded to when under acute stress would provide a very handy manual to anyone who might have to deal with care crashes or any other sudden event leading to unexpected death. Clearly there is an important difference between the accidental and the deliberate killing involved here. Much benefit will be obtained from this book by those who are affected by trauma of many different sorts, well away from the setting of the abortion issue. -- Dr Robert Moles
