DESCRIPTION:Hosted by BACORR*Bay Area Coalition for Our Reproductive Rights  Eyal 
 Press, writer for "The Nation" has written a book about the anti-choice 
 reign of terror against abortion providers.  Come to Valencia Street Books 
 April 25th to hear his story and to commemorate those doctors who died for 
 our rights and lives.  The book is called: “Absolute Convictions: My 
 Father, a City and the Conflict that Divided America”  In 1973, Eyal 
 Press and his family arrived in Buffalo where his father, Shalom, had 
 accepted a three-year residency in obstetrics and gynecology, only three 
 weeks after the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Roe v. Wade. 
 Leaving Israel, a country where militants routinely invoke religion to 
 justify force, the family expected that life in Buffalo would be tranquil. 
 They weren’t prepared for what the next three decades held in 
 store—protesters outside their home, mock funerals at Shalom Press’s 
 office and the 1998 threat on his life, which came shortly after his 
 colleague was killed by James Kopp. The shooting of Dr. Barnett Slepian 
 haunted Eyal, now a journalist, and compelled him to understand why the 
 abortion conflict has sparked such passion and fierce moral convictions on 
 both sides of the issue.  ABOUT THE AUTHOR:  Eyal Press is a journalist 
 based in New York City. A regular contributor to The Nation whose work has 
 appeared in The Atlantic Monthly and The New York Times Magazine, he was a 
 finalist for the 2004 J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award and the 
 recipient of the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism and the 
 Science-in-Society award from the National Association of Science Writers 
 and Editors.  http://www.bacorr.org\n
