Summary

Bitter debate about abortion in the 1990s led to the 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 than 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 ultimately to the assassination attempt that changed his life forever. 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.

Author Biography

Jack Fainman was a doctor for more than four decades, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology for much of that time. His career came to an abrupt end on Remembrance Day, 1997 with a shot in the dark.
