About this title

Synopsis

The revised edition of this collection of essays contains selections by authors on both sides of the debate, covering the abortion situation before Roe v. Wade, Christians and abortion, Operation Rescue, and other topics. Original.

Reviews

YA-Another challenging group of essays on a timely theme. The revised edition contains seven opinions from the 1989 edition as well as new essays that consider many sides of the issue. The selections reflect contemporary concerns of thoughtful men and women in the fields of philosophy, theology, psychotherapy, law, medicine, and journalism. Arranged in five sections that deal with broad aspects of the question, the book succeeds in bringing the issues into focus for meaningful analysis. The writing styles are as diverse as the opinions: the cerebral pro-life discussion of Judge Bork; Anna Quindlen's anguished essay; the sensitive narrative of a visit to an abortion clinic by Catholic theologian Daniel Maguire; and the horrific descriptions of case histories of a psychotherapist and a social worker. Students willing to follow the rigorous arguments in this collection may find their own ideas clarified, strengthened, or changed; or, they may have even more questions than when they began.
