Why Pro-Life?: Caring for the Unborn and Their Mothers
Author: Randy Alcorn

(publisher’s overview)
So much is at stake in the abortion debate. If pro-choicers are right, precious freedoms are in jeopardy. If pro-lifers are right, innocent children are being robbed of their most basic freedom—life. Though bumper sticker slogans prevail, the facts are rarely presented. We need clear and credible answers to the central questions of the abortion debate. For those who have had abortions or are currently considering one, for pro-choicers and fence-straddlers alike, Why Pro-Life? provides answers to these questions in a concise, straightforward, and nonabrasive manner. Many believe that we have to choose between helping women and helping children. This book shows how critical it is that we help both.
