While there is a myriad of resources available for understanding the pro-life movement and history, some stand out. Every pro-lifer should consider reading some of these books. Sound, intellectual, apologetically-based, rooted in truth and science, the pro-lifer who understands the concepts contained in these works will be able to better defend the reality of life in the womb to the most cynical and difficult of audiences. Each would make a great pro-life gift this holiday season.<\/p>\n

The following books are only some of the excellent resources available. Note: For convenience and publication information, each work is linked to its Amazon listing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Aborting America<\/a> – Bernard Nathanson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nathanson<\/a> was one of the most prolific abortionists of his time, working hard to make abortion a legal right in the nation. This is Nathanson\u2019s first book, offering profound insights into the abortion industry\u2019s greed and obsessions with taking preborn human life. (More on this work here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Hand of God<\/strong><\/a> – Bernard Nathanson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nathanson\u2019s autobiography details the methodical ways in which he worked with the abortion industry to advance the agenda of death. He also offers a frightening prophetic look at the current fetal body parts sales scandal<\/a> and gives insight that explains much of what we\u2019re seeing today. Before his death, he had both a religious and pro-life conversion and dedicated the rest of his life to repealing abortion laws.<\/p>\n

Subverted<\/a> – Sue Ellen Browder<\/strong><\/p>\n

Browder, a trained investigative journalist, \u201cunwittingly betrayed her true calling and became a propagandist for sexual liberation.\u201d In doing so, she promoted the cultural values (or lack thereof) that permeate the abortion, free sex, and contraception industries as she wrote numerous articles for Cosmopolitan <\/em>magazine. This work reveals her journey to the realization that she was not only influencing abortion culture but also being influenced by those more sagacious than she was. Browder details her freedom from this bondage and corrects the myths she had once promoted.<\/p>\n

Pro Life Answers to Pro Choice Arguments<\/a>\u00a0– Randy Alcorn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alcorn is one of the foremost pro-life voices in the nation. The pastor and pro-lifer actually worked for minimum wage instead of the salary he was worth<\/a> after a judgment against him for peacefully protesting outside an abortion clinic penalized a portion of any income he made above minimum wage. In this book, Alcorn offers a pro-life apologetic which answers virtually any question a pro-lifer may have.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Abortion Wars<\/strong><\/a> – Charles Camosy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Camosy, an ethicist and theologian from Fordham University, breaks down the binary argument of pro-life vs. pro-choice, and \u201cshows that placing oneself on either side of the typical polarizations — pro-life vs. pro-choice, liberal vs. conservative, Democrat vs. Republican — only serves to further confuse the debate and limits our ability to have fruitful dialogue.\u201d Camosy argues that most Americans are actually more in agreement on abortion than our polarized culture would have us believe. After de-polarizing the debate, he lays out what he calls a Mother and Prenatal Child Protection Act as a proposal to solve the issue of abortion in our culture.<\/p>\n

Dispelling the Myths of Abortion History<\/a> – Joseph Dellapenna<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dellapenna tackles the myths that guided the pro-abortion cause, including those argued by Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun when he wrote the majority decision in Roe v. Wade. Instead of the myths of abortion perpetuated by two scholars, Dellapenna examines the actual history of abortion in both English and American culture, including<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Anglo-American law always treated abortion as a serious crime, generally including early in pregnancy. Prosecutions and even executions go back 800 years in England, establishing law that carried over to colonial America. The reasons offered for these prosecutions and penalties consistently focused on protecting the life of the unborn child. This unbroken tradition refutes the claims that unborn children have not been treated as persons in our law or as persons under the Constitution of the United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Innocent Blood<\/a>– John Ensor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ensor is the president of Passion Life and an evangelical pastor who has been deeply committed to pregnancy resource centers. Ensor writes and teaches on bioethics, as well, and Innocent Blood is an evangelical, pro-life apologetic on the biblical mandate of God to not shed the blood of the innocent. Ensor explores bloodguilt and the implications for humanity. This is a must-read for any Christian who is committed to the pro-life cause and wants to grasp an understating of the biblical concept of bloodguilt, from Genesis to Revelation. Some of the questions Ensor answers include<\/a>:<\/p>\n
