Book

A cornerstone of the book is the author’s belief that society should deliver love, understanding, and concern equally both for the woman carrying the baby within her womb and for the baby entirely defenseless within that womb. The book gets underway by describing the activities of both participants during the nine months of pregnancy. The author then examines multiple views regarding the time at which the unborn is recognized as a human being. The various forms of birth control and abortion are explained. The history of abortion within American jurisprudence follows with special emphasis on Roe v Wade. In the author’s view, our Nation’s history of constantly changing legal mechanisms and political decision-making led to the existing unpredictable complexity. While we dither, the precious, defenseless, and unborn die in massive numbers. A new pathway is suggested incorporating multiple provisions to assure the woman’s understanding of the life-impactful ramifications of her decision on the unborn within her womb, and enable her awareness of the alternative life arrangements available for the newly born. Compassionate yet unquestionably grounded in fact, this book provides the ultimate resource for young women and men, parents, teachers, religious leaders, and other critical thinkers to reference in thoughtful and meaningful dialogue on abortion, the controversy of every era.
