Abortion: My Choice, God's Grace : Christian Women Tell Their Stories

by Anne Eggebroten (Editor)

Library Journal said, "After a foreword and introduction that place abortion in comparative contexts, 13 Christian women (both Roman Catholic and Protestant) write about their decision to abort; seven additional chapters provide further testimonies, e.g., memories of seeing a pregnant 15-year-old in a coffin, stories of church-sanctioned rape, and the editor's testimony to the importance of her being able to choose to birth an unplanned pregnancy. A concluding chapter addresses the issue of biblical support for choice. Related issues of violence toward women receive moving but restrained attention. An important presentation of facts and arguments that have often been silenced; essential for all libraries."

Appears dated, but still quite relevant and a good discourse on how one can absolutely identify as Christian and be pro-choice. (Hint: One way is to be compassionate. Another is to value motherhood by not forcing it. There are more, but read it for yourself).

Thoughtful and thought-provoking about a silent topic that touches everyone.

The silent choice, made under much stigma and judgment, is debunked and made human and understandable in this thoughtful and personal book.

compelling and powerful stories of Christian women who struggled with the choice of whether to have an abortion. this book frames the concept of choice as a very personal one. it is still relevant today more than ever as numerous American politicians attempt to curtail women's rights by limiting availability of abortions. i recommend this book to all regardless of gender or religious preference.

I edited this collection of personal stories by Christian women who, in difficult situations, prayerfully chose to have an abortion. It's available on Amazon. Give a copy to your local church or Planned Parenthood center.

The verbal gymnastics this book used to try to convince the reader that Jesus would've approved of abortion are staggering.
