What if America could finally end the abortion stalemate and build a system that truly supports women, families, and life?

For decades, abortion policy has been locked in a bitter fight between extremes, leaving millions of women unsupported and the nation divided. A Nation of Mothers offers a groundbreaking alternative: a bold, bipartisan framework that reframes abortion as a structural issue, not just a moral or political one.

In this concise, compelling book, Michael Butkiewicz proposes a national policy that:

• Supports women and families through real investments in maternity care, mental health, and adoption reform
• Balances accountability with compassion, using restrictions where justified and sweeping support where needed
• Delivers fiscal realism, showing how comprehensive reform can be responsibly funded
• Restores dignity to one of America’s most divisive debates

A Nation of Mothers is not pro-life or pro-choice, but pro-human dignity. For policymakers, advocates, and anyone who believes in solving problems instead of fighting over them, this book provides clarity and a path forward.

“A serious policy that breaks the stalemate on abortion. A must-read for anyone who cares about women and children.” — Early Reader Review
