story of a gynecologist who performs abortions Gabriel Weston is bold, brave and absolutely fascinating read Mike Leigh film Bar 2004
Vera Drake
I struggled to regain the traditional narratives that offer abortion services as protagonists . Two novels published this month correct this imbalance: Kate Manning
My Notorious Life by Madame X (Bloomsbury), and part-time ENT surgeon Gabriel Weston Dirty Work
- of Weston protagonist Nancy is a gynecologist who finishes are just one of the procedures that make your working day:. "In a way, it is unlike any other type of surgery is not easier or more difficult, or more no more bloody disgusting." She agreed with abortion in principle - which had one - and it's his job very well, but one day in the operating room gels. A woman at your table starts to bleed and Nancy is right there. much more complex than the controversy in favor of abortion or against abortion, Weston novel is ambiguous examination of a woman whose actions contradict his ethics inexplicably. Angle debate is rarely explored - the difficulty of reconciling a firm belief in the right of women to choose from with the recognition of the brutality of the act that will involve another human performance. Nobody wants to hear the gruesome details, but Nancy has to live with them, and it is this "silent crisis" that puts its crisis.
