Description
This is the true story of Leonard and Irene Sharkey, who are faced with a pregnancy that threatens Irene's life. In the early 1970s, the law in Michigan prevented doctors from performing abortions or giving advice on the subject. The Sharkeys are compelled to undertake a fearful journey to an unknown doctor in New York. Their experiences before, during, and after the abortion leave them traumatized, guilt-ridden, and in fear of public and private retribution, from strangers as well as family and friends. With emotions raging on both sides of the abortion issue, Split Decision lends balance and sanity in a slightly different manner -- a personal story on abortion from the point of view of a male.
Split Decision takes the reader on a explosive journey through the legal and illegal encounters with abortion doctors, hospitals, and clinics. it's a place where the only thing to hold on to is one's belief in a higher power. A shocking tale!
