Description
without open and honest dialogue, how can change ever happen?
Linda is excited when she realizes she’s pregnant with her second child, and her family shares her joy. But their happiness turns into heartbreak when Linda’s doctor contacts her with life-changing news. Prenatal testing reveals a rare chromosomal abnormality in the fetus, shattering the future Linda and her husband had envisioned.
Linda faces a choice she never thought she’d have to make, one that’s influenced not only by cultural norms, religious beliefs, and legal constraints but also by threats and hatred. As she navigates her journey—one that is as personal as it is universal—she explores women’s rights to their bodily autonomy from her unique perspective and realizes the power of breaking her silence.
Behind Bulletproof Glass is more than a memoir; it’s a call to action. Linda invites readers to join her in challenging the status quo as she examines the abortion rights issue in the United States and beyond.
