DESCRIPTION: \nDr. Willie Parker reads from his memoir LIFE'S WORK: A Moral Argument 
 for Choice.  At a time when abortion rights are under attack like no time 
 since the passage of Roe vs Wade, Dr. Willie Parker is performing abortions 
 in several states, and speaking out in this memoir to debunk the 
 reactionary myths around abortion with scientific precision and moral 
 conviction.\n"No one on earth expects a large, bald black man in sweats and 
 a baseball cap to be a doctor at all, let alone one of the last abortion 
 doctors in the south," Parker writes in his memoir Life's Work: a Moral 
 Argument for Choice.\n\nAt a moment when abortion rights are under attack 
 like no time since the passage of Roe v. Wade, Dr. Willie Parker is 
 performing abortions in several states in the south, and he's speaking out 
 in this memoir to debunk the reactionary myths around abortion with 
 scientific clarity and moral conviction.\n\n"It says something deep about 
 Life's Work and Dr. Willie Parker, that you learn first not about him, but 
 the women he serves as patients. As a poor southern boy who became a great 
 doctor, he shows us how race and sex bias limit and kill, how possible it 
 is to undo that bias with kindness, and how Christianity might actually 
 include women. I wish everyone in America would read this book."\n-- Gloria 
 Steinem\n\n"...a vivid and companionable memoir of a remarkable life." (New 
 Yorker magazine)\n
