Publication Type: Poster Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Irene Vilar's provocative 2009 memoir Impossible Motherhood: Testimony of an Abortion Addict defies the conventional abortion narrative relied upon by pro-choice defenders by narrating her experience undergoing fifteen abortions. I read Vilar's text with appreciation for the opportunities it presents feminists for broadening the pro-choice position beyond Hillary Clinton's "safe, legal, and rare" defense; however, using Sontag's Illness as Metaphor, my essay reads against Vilar's dominant comparison of abortion with heroin addiction to argue that her text reinscribes dangerous misconceptions about abortion and women's abilities to make informed choices.
