"Shoshanna Ehrlich is one of the nation's leading advocates for adolescents' reproductive health care and rights. With both compassion and candor, Shoshanna is able to step outside the often polarized debate about abortion and provide the reader with real life stories of young women facing the issue."

"Shoshanna Ehrlich's book is a must read for every policy maker to remind them that their actions have consequences in real people's lives. The teens' stories are enlightening, touching, sometimes heartrending. Together, they tell a larger story about our society's refusal to give young women's decisions the respect and support they deserve and how we can rectify that."

"Finally we have a book that places young women's experiences at the center of the debate over restrictions on their abortion rights…. [Ehrlich] gives us a new and deeper understanding of the burdens parental involvement laws impose on adolescent girls, the motivation behind the laws, and the integrity of the women's choices."

"In this careful and thoughtful analysis of the law, Shoshanna Ehrlich adds an additional dimension to the discourse: the voices of young women who have been through the process and how they arrived at their decisions…. This is a must read for all who care about the lives of young women as they strive to make the right decision about their futures."
