Abstract: The bitter debate about abortion in the 1990's led to an attempted murder that shattered Dr. Jack Fainman's shoulder and life. At the time, Fainman was the head of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Winnipeg's Victoria Hospital. He had performed therapeutic abortions but he had also delivered more then 5,000 babies. This memoir of Fainman's life as a doctor begins in Winnipeg's North End and takes us to Chicago where he trained in his specialty and to the bedsides of thousands of women who gave birth with his guidance. Former Manitoba attorney general Roland Penner wrote the book with Dr. Fainman and adds the legal context governing the abortion issue both then and now.
