This guide includes discussion and consciousness-raising questions for a four-meeting book study group, and questions for an eight-meeting consciousness-raising group with the book Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now as background. We’ve also included key background articles on consciousness-raising and abortion struggle history. And there is an action guide section to help you successfully pull off an abortion speak-out or a picket of a “Crisis Pregnancy Center” (fake clinic). An evaluation form and contact information to get assistance is also included. Click here to download the complete guide.
