Prolife Books


Politically Correct Death By Francis J. Beckwith
This is the best, and most tightly argued, presentation of the prolife position I have ever read. Unlike his critics, Professor Beckwith is gracious as well as careful in understanding his opponents' arguments if you have room for only one prolife book in your library, make sure it is this one.

Precious Unborn Human Persons By Gregory Koukl
Greg offers an easy to follow, well-reasoned discussion about what it means to be human and what makes humans valuable. "Precious Unborn Human Persons" asks two vital questions. First, is it a matter of fact that the unborn is a separate, living human being? Second, if so, what is the right way for us to treat innocent human beings who can't defend themselves? This is a careful defense of the full humanity and full personhood of the unborn from the moment of conception.

Pro-Life 101 By Scott Klusendorf
Unlike some speaking guides that provide only sketchy content, this presentation is packed with hard-hitting arguments and memorable illustrations that resonate with secular audiences. You get practical help as well. Chapter three provides tips on helping a friend through a crisis pregnancy.

Pro Life Answers to Pro Choice Arguments by Randy Alcorn, Rod Morris
This is a cogent, well-organized and highly readable body of work. I have read several publications on the abortion debate, and this is among the very best. It is second only to Beckwith's "Politically Correct Death" in terms of comprehensively and cogency.

When Abortion Was a Crime
A solidly grounded, sophisticated history of illegal abortion in the U.S.

Won by Love
Norma McCorvey, Jane Roe of Roe V. Wade, Speaks Out for the Unborn As She Shares Her New Conviction for Life.

Abortion: My Choice, God's Grace
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.

Abortion Decisions of the United States Supreme Court: 1990's, 1980s, 1970s
These three volumes attempt to present the Supreme Court's rulings on abortion from Roe vs. Wade "(1973) to Bray vs. Alexandria Women's Health Clinic (1993). Each volume includes a U.S. Constitution, bibliography, and index.

The Abortionist: A Woman Against The Law
The abortionist, Ruth Barnett, had an abortion herself as a teenager in 1911. This experience led her eventually into a 50-year career in which she performed some 40,000 abortions. Solinger has drawn on Barnett's unpublished memoir and diaries, her daughter Maggie's memoir, and many interviews to produce a lively and graphic account of abortion from the time when it was illegal but overlooked on into the 1950s and 1960s, when it was not only illegal but prosecuted.
