Prolife Reading

Kreeft uses Socratic technique to strip away the emotional issues and get to the heart of the rational objections to abortion. Logic joins humor as Socrates challenges the standard rhetoric and passion of the contemporary debate.

Why Pro-Life? offers factual answers to the central issues of the abortion debate in a concise, non-abrasive way. Infused with grace and compassion, and grounded in medical science and psychological studies, Randy Alcorn presents a solid case for defending both unborn children and their mothers.

Chapters such as, What Makes a Human Life Meaningful, Is Abortion Really a Womens Rights Issue, and How Can I Help Unborn Babies and Their Mothers help readers to look at the many sides of this polarizing issue.

For those on the fence in the midst of the abortion debate, this book will be a great resource as it clearly and thoroughly examines the pro-life position. For those who are pro-life already, this book is an encouragement to be intelligently and graciously informed.

The true story of a former Planned Parenthood leader’s courageous choice in favour of life. 

Unplanned is a heart-stopping personal drama of life-and-death encounters, a courtroom battle, and spiritual transformation that speaks hope and compassion into the political controversy that surrounds this complex issue.

Giving Sorrow Words includes the personal accounts of 18 women who had abortions and draws on the experiences of more than 200 others.

The women in this book were told they’d be able to get on with their lives after abortion; but they share their stories of personal suffering and loss – stories that have often gone unheard in a society eager to dismiss abortion-related trauma.

Australian journalist and women’s rights advocate Melinda Tankard Reist examines their experiences, including the lack of resources and support, the misinformation and lack of informed consent, and the intension pressure and coercion often applied by partners, parents and society in general to force women into unwanted abortions.

Daring women — those who were told not to have their babies due to perceived disabilities in themselves or their unborn children — tell their stories in this controversial book that looks critically at medical eugenics as a contemporary form of social engineering.

These women have given birth in the face of disapproval and hostility, defied both the creed of perfection and accepted medical wisdom, and given the issue of abortion a complexity beyond the simplistic pro-life/pro-choice dichotomy.

As it questions the accuracy of screening procedures, the definition of a worthwhile life, and the responsiblity for determining the value of an imperfect life, this book trenchantly brings to light many issues that for years have been marginalized by the mainstream media and restricted to disability activism.

Redeeming A Father’s Heart presents the powerful stories of 10 courageous men with the common desire to present the truth of their abortion experience and the consequences of this life changing decision.

These stories are exciting and moving testimonies that journey deep into the heart of male post abortion pain…ultimately revealing the miraculous manifestation of God’s saving power.
