Choice: True Stories of Birth, Contraception, Infertility, Adoption, Single Parenthood, and Abortion (2007) is a nonfiction anthology co-edited by Karen E. Bender and Nina de Gramont. The collection gathers personal essays from writers about the reproductive decisions they have faced, presented without a political agenda.

The editors structured the anthology to cover the full range of reproductive experience, from planned pregnancies and adoptions to infertility and abortion. Each essay offers an individual perspective, and the collection as a whole resists reducing these varied experiences to any single narrative.
