  From the author of I Hate Men, a personal and political reflection on abortion rights. 
   
   
   
  Discussion about abortion and associated rights are often limited to either "anti-abortion" or "pro-choice," the latter of which focuses on the importance of having the right to choose, rather than on what that right means for real people. 
   
   
   
  In this timely essay, Pauline Harmange provides an intimate, detailed account of her abortion. Reminiscent of Annie Ernaux's Happening, Abortion is nuanced, complex, honest, and precise. Harmange gives voice to the emotions, reflections, and contradictions that someone could experience when they choose to terminate a pregnancy. 
   
   
   
  At a time in which women's reproductive rights are being called into question around the world, Abortion is a clarion call, a powerful personal testimony, and a resolutely political vision: to restore power to our experiences, all our experiences, by sharing them, and to transform society for the better.

  Frequently, when assigning labels to individuals or things, boundaries are inadvertently set, turning the label itself into a confining restriction. It's crucial for adults to choose their words carefully, as children absorb them swiftly. We each faced this issue when he was taunted by bullies who dubbed him "the kid with the broken brain. 
  I came to the realization that he had been approaching his challenges with the wrong set of questions. Instead of contemplating what to learn, he needed to find effective and enjoyable methods for learning. 
  In the realm of wisdom, gaining knowledge is akin to possessing extraordinary abilities. Our potential to learn is boundless; all that's required is proper guidance on accessing it. A specific mindset, motivation, and methodology can assist you in enhancing your cognitive abilities, enabling you to grasp any subject more swiftly and unlock a more exceptional life. 
  If you're not reaching your full potential in learning or living, and there's a disparity between your current and desired reality, it indicates a limitation that needs to be identified and replaced in your mindset (the what), your motivation (the why), or your approach (the how). 
  The four learning challenges often referred to as "supervillains" include digital deluge, digital distraction, digital dementia, and digital deduction. While these conditions are not directly caused by technology, it serves as an amplifier, magnifying their impact despite its numerous advantages.
