Making Women Pay is a small but powerful book that forces the reader to make a significant paradigm shift... An extremely well-researched and comprehensive examination of policy and law.... Rachel Roth has written a book that should be required reading for health professionals dealing with women and their fetuses, politicians and legislators who hold a woman's liberty in their hands, and bioethicists who are asked to consult on many of these complicated issues....

-- Ian R. Holzman, MD, Mount Sinai School of Medicine * Journal of the American Medical Women's Association *

Roth's scrupulously researched book... documents an assault on women's rights waged in the name of fetal rights.... Highly recommended at all levels.

-- Janet Gellman * Banana Slug Bulletin *

Making Women Pay is an outstanding book.
