I am still reading this book (borrowed it from the library), but I was impressed enough to write a review halfway through the book. First off, Alcorn presents all his arguments in a logical order, grouping like arguments together. He also responds to each individual reason why a pro-choice person supports abortion, and crafts his counter-argument calmly and rationally. Alcorn is adept at putting into words the vague reasons why pro-life people oppose abortion, and he explains it in such a logical way that Vulcans would approve of. However as rational Mr. Alcorn may be, he is not above describing what a fetus (fetus and unborn baby is used interchangably duirng the book) feels during abortion, or using pictures of miscarried babies, aborted babies, and surgeries perfomed on fetuses that will increase their chance of living. He also uses anecdotes when appropriate, like the one about a three year old who inadvertently saw a picture of an aborted baby (to put it gently, an aborted baby is a baby that's been taken apart) The three year old, in tears, asked his mommy, "Who broke the baby?" Randy Alcorn does try not to dwell on the gruesome; he'll just matter-of-factly explain things. My favorite anecdote is the one that involved Alcorn himself. He'll speak to college students and explain that while he was introduced as pro-life, he's really pro-choice. (Students nod in approvement) He believes that people can choose what they want to do with their bodies. (Cheers) Men can do what they want with their bodies, too. (More approval) For example, if a man wants to force a lady to have sex with him, and rapes her, that's his choice. Nobody has the right to tell him not to use his body to rape her, so he shouldn't be punished for it. (Silence). Alcorn then uses this to compare the rape with an abortion, in both stories the victim is barely paid lip-service. The victim is the one who has no say in these these things, but in a rape, people will go to the defense of the lady, making sure she recovers, but who's going to the defense of the fetuses? (By the way, if a rape victim gets pregnant, she shouldn't abort the baby, Alcorn says. It won't be our fault for "forcing" her to carry it full term, it's the rapist's fault for invading her in the first place, it's the rapist's fault for forcing a pregnancy on the lady. If the baby is aborted, then the lady will be as guilty as the rapist.) Another main argument is over the fact whether a fetus is a person. Well, is it a lesser sin to murder a teenager because he's not full person yet, an adult? Is it a lesser sin to kill a child because she's not a teenager yet? How about killing an infant, because the baby isn't a child yet? Well, how about a fetus? (Clue: a fetus is a baby, even if it lives in a womb vs. a crib.) Then how about a "product of conception"? Questions like these abound in this book. I started reading this book with an open mind, and even halfway through I am forced to conclude that abortion does indeed kill babies. Even if you are firmly in the pro-choice side, it would do you good to read this book, just to see where pro-lifers are coming from. Alcorn said that many pro-choicers are virtually clueless when it comes to the pro-life position, and that's where the heated arguments come from. Read this book, know each side's view, and THEN start arguing. We'd save a lot of time that way.

This book is organized wonderfully and points out all of the fallacies of the pro-abortion/pro-infanticide stance. I refer to it in one of the chapters of a pro-life book I am writing about how not only the unborn human beings but newborn and infants have been dehumanized by the "legal non-person" pro-abortion argument. Now we see the return of eugenics, where people sue because they had a baby with Down syndrome, such as wrongful life and wrongful birth lawsuits and where whole organs are used from aborted children for research. Great book! The only thing I would vehemently disagree with is where he defends not allowing abortion in the case of rape or incest. It was not the woman or girl's choice to have sex so she should have a choice to get cleaned out after a rape, even if a conception, and therefore new human life, has already formed. This is less than one percent of abortions anyway, and if leftists let us keep rapists and murderers in jail that would be less of a problem. The right of a raped person to get cleaned out from a rape outweighs any right a 2-hour old embryo does to life. It is sad but forcing a raped girl to carry to term is inhumane. That said, 99 percent of abortions are currently for convenience (the mother wants to go on a ski trip, for example) or for eugenic reasons, like the father was ugly or the unborn child has a fixable cosmetic flaw such as cleft lip. see www.culturejamforlife.com
