This comic book was produced as a fund raiser for Planned Parenthood, and I was honored to contribute the art for a short story written by Josh Trujillo. There are a huge number of stories in the book, ranging from 1 to 8 pages- a mix of nonfiction pieces about Planned Parenthood's past, personal histories, fictional pieces and some sci-fi futurist predictions. One of the stories, "Ethel Byrne" written by Cecil Castelluchi and Scott Chantler, was just nominated for an Eisner award!

2.5/3 stars. I really liked some of these comics, but then others were just blatant propaganda. Who do they think is reading this? I’m already a supporter of PP, I don’t need to be pushed to hate the religious right and republicans (which isn’t a good thing to do anyway!!! It’s the fault of the patriarchy that people act this way).

I laughed, I cried, I was educated- this is such a valuable resource and I'm so glad that the proceeds are going directly to Planned Parenthood. The sheer number of lives that they impact on an annual basis is phenomenal. Major kudos to all of the artists and writers that contributed to this amazing anthology.

Why don't enough people know about this book? I appreciate this collection. Every single one was so educational and v feminist which is something I highly appreciate. The stories were soooo diverse like never had I seen any type of message telling abuse can be prominent in a lesbian relationship. I learned so much during this novel. The only reason it's not a five out of five is that there were a few comics where I was confused about how it was feminist related or I didn't like the art style. I feel like because I didn't like every single comic, I can't give it a five out of five. Although it's really made me think a lot. Another thing I will say is that it did feel kinda propaganda-ey since the protestors outside of the Planned Parenthood would be drawn in such an aggressive way and I think it might've been cool to see the comics explore the thought of having sympathy for their ignorance rather than thinking them like trolls.
