The Guardian – The woman who opened one of the first US abortion clinics recounts her role in the 40-year fight for a woman's right to choose in a new book. Merle Hoffman, who opened a clinic providing abortions before they became legal across America, talks about her career as a battle. "This is a full-frontal war on women and I've been in this war for over 40 years. I've seen it change its tactics – it was a guerrilla war, then my friend Tiller was killed. The only thing that amazed me when it started this time round was how open it was, it used to be a subtle attack, but now it's very direct." (…) "The abortion issue is a tremendously nuanced and complicated one. It brings up so many different parts of how we see ourselves in the world and in society, life, the meaning of life. That's why it has to be so profoundly personal. Women are the only ones … ultimately the decision has to rest with them." <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jun/11/merle-hoffman-woman-abortion" target="_blank">Lire la suite</a></p>
