Since Before Roe v. Wade: An Abortion Provider's Memoir
Since Before Roe v. Wade was written with clarity, humor, and passion. This memoir presents an accurate picture of abortion to the public, including the medical and psychological realities for patients and providers, and fearlessly addresses the complex issues surrounding abortion. Numerous patient stories are presented to illustrate the many facets of abortion. Other aspects of pregnancy and childbirth, contraception, and gynecologic conditions and how they relate to abortion are discussed as well. These accounts explain technical issues to the public with the aid of vivid illustrations. Dr. Eisinger envisions his work becoming a useful source of information. In our current overheated national discussion about abortion, we need an accurate, compassionate, honest account of abortion-this is it!
Steven H. Eisinger, MD, FACOG, (pictured above) attended college at the University of Chicago, medical school at the University of Michigan, and residency in Ob Gyn at the University of Wisconsin. He then served as a Major in the Army for two years, delivering babies and doing abortions! Then, Dr. Eisinger accepted a position as an Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester (NY) Medical School in 1977, teaching Ob Gyn to resident physicians.
Dr. Eisinger remained in Rochester for his entire career teaching, practicing, and conducting research, eventually retiring as Professor Emeritus in 2022. Throughout his career, Dr. Eisinger has dedicated himself to three main pursuits: providing obstetric and gynecologic care for underserved women, educating young doctors, and championing reproductive freedom, including abortion. Dr. Eisinger has performed abortions all his professional life, beginning in 1971, Since Before Roe v. Wade.
Dr. Eisinger spoke at the 2024 NOW rally in Rochester, NY, to advocate for the continued availability of mifepristone, the abortion pill. He was an author of and was responsible for designing safety protocols for a nationwide scientific study on mifepristone. The study persuaded the FDA to approve mifepristone in 2000. Dr. Eisinger has since prescribed mifepristone for thousands of women. The abortion pill is safe and effective-he should know!
He is a lifetime Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG). His hobbies include hiking, trail maintenance, golf, mountain climbing, and dealing in rare coins. Married with two adult children, he and his wife Sue celebrated their fifty-fifth anniversary in 2024. This book is dedicated to Sue.
