En 1999, Paulina Ramírez, de tan sólo trece años, fue violada y quedó embarazada. Con el apoyo de su familia, acudió a la clínica de su localidad para interrumpir la gestación, pero ni su corta edad ni las circunstancias violentas en las que se dio su embarazo le garantizaron ese derecho.   Los médicos que la atendieron argumentaron objeción de conciencia, empecinados en defender sus creencias religiosas, y se negaron a practicar el aborto, dejando a Paulina y a su familia en una encrucijada vital.   Elena Poniatowska ofrece en este libro la crónica conmovedora de un caso que generó indignación y alimentó la lucha por los derechos reproductivos de las mujeres mexicanas.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIn 1999, Paulina Ramírez, only thirteen years of age, was raped and got pregnant. With her family’s support, she went to her local clinic to terminate her pregnancy, but neither her young age nor the violent circumstances in which she became pregnant granted her this right.   The doctors argued a conscientious objection, determined to stand by their religious believes, and refused to perform the abortion, leaving Paulina and her family at a vital crossroads. Elena Poniatowska presents the moving chronicle of a case that sparked outrage and fused the struggle for Mexican women’s reproductive rights.

In Dershowitz on Killing: How the Law Decides Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die, Alan Dershowitz—New York Times bestselling author and one of America’s most respected legal scholars—examines the subjects of death, life, and the law.   Alan Dershowitz has been called “one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in America” by Politico and “the nation’s most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights” by Newsweek. His legal career as a criminal defense lawyer has been deeply involved with death and life decisions.Dershowitz on Killing is a timely examination of issues and questions that are front and center in today’s society. Employing a philosophical, moral, religious, and cultural lens to the legal aspects surrounding death and life, Dershowitz elucidates the role of government to determine who shall live and who shall die in declaring wars, ordering executions, authorizing deadly force, permitting or denying abortions, providing or mandating vaccines, controlling climate change, allowing or refusing asylum for endangered migrants, and other life and death rulings. He notes that when the government decides these choices, it is asked to do so by first determining whether a “right” is involved, because rights trump mere interest, just as constitutional restrictions trump legislative and executive actions.   Dershowitz on Killing asserts that the rules governing death and life decisions should reflect the irreversibility of death. It is essential reading for anyone interested in or concerned about how these decisions are allocated among state and federal; executive, legislative, and judicial; private and governmental; religious and secular institutions—and how people in a democracy, through the power of the ballot, have the ultimate say in these critical decisions.

In her debut book, Healing Starts Here, Diosha Davis recounts when she spent a significant amount of her life drowning in the depths of her depression and suppressing her pain by self-medicating. From childhood trauma, dealing with adversity, additions, and so much more, Diosha was in a whirlpool of distress and self-destruction. Realizing that she played a major role in her biggest downfalls, Diosha decided to stop allowing negative things to consume her. She was determined to get to the root of her pain - and she did. Instead of making other people and situations a priority, she decided to put herself first. And that's when her healing began. After reading Healing Starts Here, you'll take a look at your past, assess where you've fallen short, and be inspired to reach your full potential. It's time to stop clinging to things that have caused you agony. What if the only thing standing between you and your purpose was you? Would healing then, still be optional?

Before birth control, women * (people who could be impregnated, including gender non-conforming individuals and transmen) were, overwhelmingly, excluded from higher education and from the pursuit of fulfilling careers. Women* were routinely fired at marriage or pregnancy, and pressured to marry men* (persons who could impregnate, including gender non-conforming and transwomen) as their primary means of economic subsistence. The ability to control whether or not - or when - YOU have a child (either as an individual or a couple) is paramount to your ability to plan, and execute some level of control over, your life's trajectory. Thus, birth control has, and continues to, function as a precondition of the liberation of women.* Without access to reliable birth control, and the right to terminate a pregnancy in the pre-embryonic and embryonic stages (first 13 weeks or first trimester), women* as a class are not viewed by societies as "self-sustaining economic units," and become, overall, the property - and liability - of men, * and marriage becomes a primarily economic arrangement - with husbands as the "employers" of their wives, enforcing the submission of those wives.

Ardyce West's compelling narrative examines the grief, pain and regret suffered by women and men who hide in the dark shadows of abortion. While acknowledging the pointed issues and opinions of both pro-life and pro-choice, West remains apolitical and non judgmental, conceding that many women and men involved in abortion successfully move on comfortably resolved to their decision. "I Never Heard You Cry" in fact never approaches political edict or social commentary regarding abortion. West focuses rather on the substantial number of people who do struggle with complex and deeply emotional post-abortion issues.In addition to relating the heartrending story of her own struggles and triumphs, West interviews a number of abortion survivors who have transcended the emotional, social, and political stigmas attached to this volatile issue. Interspersed are effective techniques designed to achieve self-forgiveness and spiritual healing.
