Critical account of a highly publicized weekend during which twenty Chicago women were transported by bus to Philadelphia in order to receive abortions after clinics in Chicago were shut down by the police. The weekend was organized by Harvey Karman and his associates and Karman's "super coil" procedure was used on the fifteen women already in their second trimester.
