The Pro-Life Argument

There is a new book out by Francis Beckwith that lays out the pro-life argument.

It is called Defending Life: A Moral and Legal Case Against Abortion Choice. National Review published a review of the book here.

The review in itself gives quite a bit of information on the arguments used. I had a conversation with a friend who asked if you can argue a pro-life stance without arguing a Christian based world view.

I think this book, at least the information contained the review, does that pretty well. Frankly a lot of the information and argument contained in the book was new to me, and I have studied the pro-life position quite a bit.

After starting with some of the legal background, it goes into three questions, which I thought were very good. Is the fetus a human being? Is it a person — a moral agent? And does it have any claim to inhabit a woman’s womb?

So, I would encourage you to read the review, and maybe get the book!

Thanks to Between Two Worlds for posting a link to the review...
