Zusammenfassung:A foundational issue -- Abortion and law -- Morality : not too much theory -- Rights, persons, and pregnancy -- Church morality -- Notable lacks and present temptations -- Afterword.
This volume takes a critical look at abortion, a topic increasingly viewed as the central political issue for Catholics. The author, a practicing Catholic who is against abortion in principle, believes the Church is on the wrong course with this issue, with grievous results for the Church and American society more broadly. He gives a brief history of abortion legislation, then explores the issue from legal, moral, and Christian perspectives, presenting compelling reasons why Church leaders and Catholics should stop trying to overturn Roe v. Wade and reconsider the issue
