"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"
