2018brossura «234 giorni sull'altalena delle emozioni: sarà vivo? Se è morto cosa faccio? Non posso sopportare una nuova perdita... non so se sono capace di reggere ancora una volta. Ma forse è vivo. In fondo non ho segnali evidenti che sia morto. In verità segnali non ne ho mai avuti, non così evidenti. Eppure sono morte. Erano morte... Ho portato con me la morte senza saperlo. No: devo essere fiduciosa. Se non avessimo un briciolo di fiducia non avremmo tentato ancora. Abbiamo tentato perché vogliamo avere fiducia: ancora. Probabilmente è vivo. Voglio godere della vita di mio figlio. Voglio esserci. Ci sono! Ma se muore? Che ne faccio di questo tempo? Come faccio...? » Perdere un figlio durante l'attesa non rende migliori, così come si usa dire per trovare un valore positivo a qualcosa di tremendo, ma certamente rende diversi. Si cambia e non si torna più indietro. Col tempo certi spigoli possono essere smussati, certi traumi possono essere digeriti e sopportati, ma non si torna più quelli di prima, nemmeno se si riesce ad avere il figlio vivo che si è tanto rincorso.
2015Nell'ottobre 2009, quando Abby Johnson si licenziò da direttrice di una clinica texana in cui si eseguivano aborti, negli Stati Uniti il suo caso ebbe una grossa risonanza. I giornali e le televisioni accorsero da tutto il paese per conoscere la sua storia. In questo libro la Johnson racconta la sua drammatica conversione da sostenitrice dell'aborto ad attivista cristiana per la vita. Non si tratta però di un libro ideologico. L'autrice narra i fatti che ha vissuto in prima persona, le sue emozioni, il suo dialogo con Dio, gli scrupoli morali che l'hanno portata a rifiutare per sempre l'aborto come soluzione ai problemi delle donne. Abby Johnson non esita a parlare dei segreti più terribili della sua vita, ma non usa mai, verso nessuno, parole d'odio o di condanna. La sua vicenda dimostra che l'amore, la gentilezza e la compassione possono fare la differenza nel dibattito sull'aborto. Autori: Abby Johnson. Traduttori: G. Piombini.
1921pp. xi, 234, Plus photo frontis. Small 8vo. Original full light blue cloth binding. Spine faded. Fourth Printing. Margaret Higgins Sanger (18831966) was the great American leader of the birth control movement. Personal experience and work as a public-health nurse convinced her that family planning, especially where poverty was a factor, was a necessary step in social progress. She studied in London with Havelock Ellis and others and, back in the United States, began her campaign almost single-handed. WOMEN 1

2018Tutto sommato è meglio non abortire. Lo dimostrano qui le testimonianze di tante donne che, aiutate dai centri di aiuto alla vita (CAV) ma soprattutto dal proprio coraggio, hanno deciso di proseguire la gravidanza. E lo dimostra anche lo sconfinato rammarico di altre donne che hanno scelto (o sono state costrette a scegliere) l'aborto. Qui scorrono storie e opinioni di personaggi famosi, come Ornella Vanoni, Alexia e Nek, oltre a Celentano, Andrea Bocelli e a un insospettabile Eminem; e poi registi come Pupi Avati e Franco Zeffirelli; femministe storiche (Lella Costa, Alessandra Kustermann), insieme con la poetessa Alda Merini. Questo libro - al tempo stesso militante ed ecumenico - nasce dalla consapevolezza che ogni vita «abbia in sé la propria giustificazione». Di qui l'idea suggerita da Claudio Magris nella prefazione: «guai a far dipendere il diritto dell'individuo alla sopravvivenza dall'amore o dall'affetto che altri hanno per lui o, peggio ancora, dalle sue capacità e dalle sue prestazioni». Presentazione di Claudio Magris. Postfazione di Marina Casini. Curatori: Gianni Mussini. Prefazione: Marina Casini, Claudio Magris.
