Bestselling Author Randy Alcorn Helps Readers Root
Their Beliefs about Abortion in Reality
Abortion has set us on a dangerous course.
We may come to our senses and back away from the slippery
slope. Or we may follow it to its inescapable conclusion
– a society in which the powerful, for their
self-interest, determine which human beings will live
and which will die.
Abortion is a hot topic, ranking number one among
issues people feel strongly about. Abortion is America's
most frequently performed surgery on women, with approximately
1.37 million reported abortions in the U.S. each year.
Everyone is affected by abortion, including Christians.
(Those calling themselves Protestant or Catholic account
for two-thirds of U.S. abortions; those calling themselves
"born again" account for 18%.)
Finally, a book has been written that presents the
facts about abortion with grace and compassion, helping
readers to root their beliefs in reality, not bumper-sticker
slogans. Why ProLife? by Randy Alcorn is written
mainly for fence-straddlers and professing pro-lifers,
but also with pro-choicers in mind. Why ProLife?
addresses the questions central to the abortion debate
in a concise, straightforward, and non-abrasive manner.
Although many people will bring to the book their
assumptions and impressions about abortion, they will
not be grounded in science and logic. Many are "pro-life"
because their religious leaders say they should be;
many are "pro-choice" because it is the
position that saturates popular media, and it sounds
so positive and tolerant. In Why ProLife?,
Randy Alcorn encourages all readers to reevaluate
their positions and base their beliefs on factual
evidence.
Why ProLife? asks and answers critical questions
central to the abortion debate, including: |
- Is the unborn really a human being?
- Is the unborn part of her mother's body?
- What do the new ultrasound technologies tell us?
- Is abortion necessary to ensure equal rights for women?
- Is it unfair to expect a pregnant woman to have an
unwanted child?
- Does abortion affect a woman's physical and mental
health?
- What about abortion in the "hard cases"?
- Is adoption really a viable alternative?
|
Individuals, churches and organizations are offered many
practical suggestions to intelligently and graciously act in
the interests of both women and children.
The author has committed all royalties from this book to go to
pro-life organizations. |

Reader Responses |

Recently you sent some books to the county jail where I minister. Last week I visited a young woman who was struggling with the decision to have an abortion. She had already signed the papers to have the procedure done with jail health funding. It was a privilege to pray with her and see the Lord changing her thinking. Fortunately I had one of your pro-life books to give her to further strengthen her decision to go through with the pregnancy.
The novels have been a great blessing as well. The library was closed due to lack of funding (but praise God the chaplaincy is their only source for books!). Thank you again for the work of EPM. - Prison Chaplain |
