No Choice is an anthology of women’s stories of illegal abortion prior to the loosening of Canadian abortion laws in 1969. Included are the stories of several doctors who performed abortions in these times. The stories are told first hand by a diverse group of 21 women who experienced the frightening underground world of backstreet abortions.
