This was a really good book. It provided a step-by-step presentation we can use to talk to people about abortion. It was a good read and I found it pretty interesting. It taught me that there's really only one question that needs answering in the abortion debate: What is the unborn? It also taught me how I can defend the pro-life position scientifically and philosophically.
This was a helpful book, filled with thoughtful advice and great reasoning and I really liked it.

Concise, irenic yet punchy. Helpful arguments from logic and reason that prove the pro-life position. Deals with objections well. Helps dispel the fog and distraction arguments of pro-abortion advocates, and gets to the central issues.

Excellent book. Well laid out and written.

It is not religious in its presentation. In fact there is no reference to God or Bible verses except for one page at the very end while answering a couple anticipated questions about showing graphic visual aids (these two questions are specifically about the use of graphic visuals with Christians). The pro-life argument, as presented, does not depend on religious beliefs but depends on science and philosophy.

The rationale for the pro-life argument is:
1. Intentionally killing an innocent human being is morally wrong.
2. Elective abortion intentionally kills an innocent human being.
3. Therefore, elective abortion is morally wrong.

The author explains that, although the issue may appear psychologically complex, the issue is quite simple in actuality. It comes down to a single issue: What is the unborn? If it is indeed a human being then abortion is morally wrong. If it is not a human being then there isn’t a problem.

The author has prepared, for your use, a complete presentation that can be given to argue the Pro-Life case. It also provides detailed rebuttals to the most common bad ways people argue for abortion.

Explains the abortion debate comes down to one question: What is the unborn? Teaches how to present sound arguments for the pro-life position scientifically and philosophically, how to refute common objections to pro-life view, and how to persuasively defend life.

Thoughtful advice for how we can be good apologists for the pro-life cause.
