Back to the Drawing Board: The Future of the Pro-Life Movement is an unprecedented collection of thoughtful and sometimes painfully honest essays, evaluating the pro-life cause thirty years after Roe v. Wade. Contributing writers are the movement's most respected leaders, including Dr. James Dobson, Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, Nat Hentoff, Dr. Mildred Jefferson, Congressman Chris Smith, Phyllis Schlafly, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, Paul Weyrich, and Jean Garton, among others. They are statesmen, scholars, doctors, lawyers, judges, activists and mothers. They are Evangelical Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Jewish, and Catholic. They are men and women, young and old, liberal and conservative, Democrat and Republican – and third party. Many are veterans, some are new; but all have labored in the effort, and care about its future.
The book is intended for the next generation of pro-life leaders, who will learn from its pages of the movement's history and current predicament. The collection's many and varied views, about the future as well as the past, invite readers to go back to the drawing board and contemplate: What now?

Seller: Eighth Day Books, LLC, Wichita, KS, U.S.A.
Paper Back. Condition: Good. Exhibiting a refreshing degree of honesty and grit, editor Teresa Wagner (a former lobbyist with the National Right to Life Committee) begins by telling us where we stand: ''It would be both untrue and overly dramatic to say that the pro-life movement has lost. But we are not winning. And the sooner we face it, the sooner we change it.'' Wagner, and her veritable list of contributors, is not interested in repudiating the pro-life movement's checkered record of wins and losses, but rather in critically thinking about its history and predicament so that the cause can continue in a new way. Here we find an atheist alongside Catholics, Evangelicals and Muslims. We read Democrats and Republicans, doctors, mothers, scientists, psychologists and rabbis offering tribute and critique from a great variety of viewpoints. If, as Richard John Neuhaus claims in his foreword, ''we are joined by a generation of young people who recognize that this is the great human rights cause of our time and theirs,'' this book could be instrumental in answering the question we all must ask: What now? good/--.
