Summary: Read this!
Review: If you're at all interested in the debate between the culture of life and the culture of death, this is the book for you. It systematically outlines all the arguments that anti-life advocates raise in their rationalization for the murder of over one million children every year. It offers not just one pat answer to each objection, but several well thought, logical answers to each objection. Even if you consider yourself "pro-choice," you will at least benefit by understanding what the pro-life position really is, instead of swallowing caricatures of that position as painted by the larger social culture in general, and sadly informed individuals in particular, like two of the reviewers below.Read PRO LIFE ANSWERS TO PRO CHOICE ARGUMENTS. It's a badly needed explication of the pro-life stance on abortion in this fallen world.

Summary: Shocked at how little I thought I knew about abortion!
Review: Randy Alcorn's book answered so many questions that I, even as a pro-life person didn't know the answers to. It equipped me to at least be able to defend what I believe in an intelligent way.For example I didn't know that abortion is legal at any stage of a pregnancy. I thought they would only do it in the first trimester. I liked the way the information was presented in a non-religious,non-denominational way.As a Christian I am saddened that most pro-choicers think all people opposed to abortion are religious fanatics. I'm not so sure I agreed with the part that birth control pills cause the death of a fertilized ovum. The "pill" suppresses ovulation thus,no egg,no conception. I was also surprised to learn that the pro-choice/abortion movement is a million dollar business! Of course they don't want to show the other side of the story to a pregnant women.

Summary: Great Resourse
Review: This is a great read. It will give you a logical, scientific and reasonable response to anything that pro-abortionist throw at you. The answers can be wordy and redundant at times but there is so much information here it is good to hear it a few times.

Summary: Counters every argument pro abortionists could make
Review: Well researched, substantiated, written, and laid out. This book should be read by everyone who values the sanctity of life from its very beginning. In fact, it should be read by everyone on both sides of this issue to discover the truth about the machine of death we call abortion. Randy Alcorn eradicates arguments from population control to the profit motives of abortion mills. I had to buy my second copy from Amazon.com because either the first bookseller or someone along the chain removed the pictures that are in the center of this book which show aborted babies, and guess what? They look like and are human beings.

Summary: Needs supplementation
Review: While this book has many strengths, it should be supplemented with more woman-centered books about abortion. People often make ridiculous arguments that pro-lifers are "anti-woman" or "anti-feminist." Nothing could be further from the truth. The overwhelming majority of women experience abortion not as liberation, but as capitulation to social and economic pressures. That's anything BUT empowering! To supplement this book, I recommend: *Prolife Feminism Yesterday and Today (edited by Mary Krane Derr), which presents feminist pro-life arguments from both "first wave" suffragists (Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Victoria Woodhull, etc.) and "second wave" pro-life feminists. *Pro-Life Feminism: Different Voices (edited by Gail Grenier-Sweet) focuses on modern feminist arguments against abortion. *Swimming Against the Tide: Feminist Dissent on the Issue of Abortion (edited by Angela Kennedy) takes the reader across the "pond" to hear the concerns of more modern pro-life feminists in Britain and Ireland. *Real Choices: Listening to Women, Looking for Alternatives to Abortion (by Frederica Mathewes-Green)-- endorsed by both pro-lifers and pro-choicers-- first asks "Why do women have abortions?" (Pro-lifers and pro-choicers will be surprised by the answers!) and follows with "Can we use women's actual responses to work to provide them better alternatives from which to choose?" (So women won't feel like "trapped animals.") It's a briliiant book for anyone who cares about real women. All of these books are available through Amazon.com.

Summary: Refutes the pro-death rhetoric with scientific facts, reason
Review: WOW! This book is amazing. I wonder why I waited so long to buy it. Randy Alcorn gives a thorough refutation of 39 common arguments we hear from the pro-abortion side. Alcorn demonstrates that scientific evidence AND reason is on the Pro-Life side (this book does NOT base its arguments on religion!). No wonder pro-abort people hate this book. Yes, the author is male. But what's right and wrong does not depend upon your sex. And yes, it is very much other people's business if someone has an abortion because an innocent HUMAN LIFE is at stake, and that ought to concern everybody, male or female, pregnant or not, involved or not involved in a similar situation. I suggest you buy several copies of this book to give to others.
