Comics for Choice von Hazel Newlevant
Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
A compassionate compilation of stories and circumstances.
I generally try to avoid subject matter this depressing, but slap it into a comic book format and I cannot help inflicting it upon myself. The writing consistently displays powerful personal narratives and informative points of view though the art gets a little rough in places.
I didn't expect to side down and read this all in one night when I received the review copy. But I did, and it was worth it.
As a collection of comics, this is a very well done set. A few are entirely forgettable, and there are a few that are drawn in a way that makes them hard to read, or just too long, but the majority? The majority are well done, thoughtful pieces. One in particular, I really thought seemed like the beginning to a much longer series that I would love to read every issue of.
It serves as a very chilling reminder of how misinformation and bad politics, and the political agenda against women have poisoned the entire debate around choice. The idea that it could be re-criminalized, especially by Trump, who wants to punish women in the process, is scary, especially while reading these personal stories. It made me think about the women I know who have had abortions, and it made me realize all the women in our society who are stronger than they are ever given credit for.
Pick this up, you won't regret it.… (mehr)
