ABORTION: LEGAL AND ETHICAL QUESTIONS The New Canadian Ethic: Kill Our Unborn Canadians This book details the abortion issue in Canada from 1967 to 1980. Two Million Silent Killings, The Truth About Abortion Topics Is the Fetus Human? In this enlightening and easy-to-read book, we are presented with a variety of evidence—biological, medical, emotional, legal, cultural and social—showing that the fetus of a human mother is indeed human! Included are personal testimonies from women who have had abortions, from a would-have-been father, from ex-abortionists and from other medical personnel involved with abortion, as well as descriptions of the very active and responsive life led by the pre-born infant—a being who we now know can see, hear, jump, turn summersaults, suck its thumb and feel—all at a very early age. Also included is evidence from American and English law in support of the fetus' right to be treated as a human being. Dehumanizing the Vulnerable, When Word Games Take Lives This wide-ranging study chronicles the awesome power of dehumanizing language to justify violence against a diverse spectrum of victims past and present. Brennan documents a commonly neglected linkage: the degrading expressions used against the unwanted unborn and born today are often identical with the labels imposed upon some of history's most reviled groups—women, Jews, and others in the Third Reich, the victims of Soviet tyranny, enslaved African Americans, Native Americans on the frontier.

Morality and Law in Canadian Politics, The Abortion ControversyAlphonse de Valk This book looks at the origins and background of the abortion issue in Canada leading to the liberalization of the abortion law in 1969. No Exception: A Pro-Life Imperative What is the ethical response to legalized murder? Over the past two decades, more than 25 million Americans have been killed by legalized abortion. Should we respond by bargaining for incremental restrictions so as to save at least some by piecemeal reforms? Or should we insist that all must be saved or none? Or is there another approach, consistent with principle, that offers a chance for restoration of respect for life? Charles E. Rice, Professor of Law at Notre Dame Law School, traces legalized abortion and euthanasia to their origins. He offers a practical and principled program to restore respect for life, in all stages and conditions, as a gift of God. Abortion: The Silent Holocaust In this book, John Powell addresses a highly emotional issue with words of love and peace, not anger. He believes that each of us has an important message to deliver, a song to sing, a unique act of love to warm the world. Powell sees the need for a clarification of values. We are asking: Does each human being really have an inalienable right to life? Does every human life really have a sacred and absolute value of its own? Is there such a thing as a life not worthy to be lived? Who Broke the Baby? The abortion movement has been rolling like a juggernaut across the landscape of our cherished moral values. A sizeable squad of militant proponents, both religious and otherwise, have been at the controls. The fuel that powers the movement is its slogans: • “Every Woman has a right to control her own body!” And there is nothing quite so convincing as a good slogan if it is repeated often. Jean Garton masterfully probes the true meanings behind the smokescreen of words which cloud the real issue. The Hand of God, A Journey from Death to Life by the Abortion Doctor Who Changed His Mind As director of the world's largest abortion clinic Dr. Bernard Nathanson presided over 60,000 deaths. As co-founder of the National Association for Repeal of Abortion Laws, he helped make abortion legal. Then, in a conversion that astonished both sides of the debate, he renounced his profession to become a pro-life advocate. But Dr. Nathanson's journey was not over. In this deeply personal memoir he reveals what led a life long atheist and abortion crusader first to the pro-life cause, and finally to Christianity. The Cost of Aboriton, An Analysis of the Social, Economic, and Demographic Effects of Abortion on the United States. Topics Beyond Abortion, A Chronicle of Fetal Experimentation Merciless and horrifying experiments on babies scheduled for abortion, and babies who survive abortion are the untold stories of the abortion industry. Their tissues and organs are harvested to serve the new technologies of medical science; use of abortion survivors and babies scheduled for abortion is becoming increasingly accepted by doctors and researchers, and is already allowed almost without imitation. Journalist Suzanne M. Rini, initially doubtful, began investigating fetal experimentation and its practitioners, legality and funding. She uncovered a network of medical researchers whose work is largely hidden from public view, and whose rationale for nontherapeutic experimentation—possible benefits for wanted babies and the elimination of defective ones—is laying the foundation for a massive Nazi-like eugenics program, with elimination of unwanted and “defective” human beings both before and after birth. Slaughter of the Innocents: Abortion, Birth Control and Divorce in Light of Science, Law and Theology In this remarkably perceptive book, Dr. John Warwick Montgomery examines some of the most tragic and divisive issues facing Christians—abortion, divorce, and birth control. Drawing from a wealth of knowledge and reflection on the moral, ethical, theological, medical, and legal aspects of his topics, Dr. Montgomery sheds new and invaluable light on the issues. All who are concerned about the tragedy of “the slaughter of the innocents” owe it to themselves to read this urgent call for a return to compassion and morality. Slaughter of the Innocents This book is a compilation on five talks by the author on CBC Radio on the subject of child abuse. The Morality of Abortion, Legal and Historical Perspectives Topics A Time to Choose Life: Women, Abortion and Human Rights The great abortion debate in Canada has often produced more smoke than fire, with pro-abortion and anti-abortion forces lobbing ideological epithets at each other without adequately clearing the ground for responsible discussion. Nevertheless, because the abortion issue is at the heart of our view of life and hopes for society, the best minds on both sides have been developing more sophisticated thinking and writing. Here, argued clearly and dispassionately from the pro-life perspective, are essays on women, abortion and human rights. Eminent scholars and doctors George Grant, Samuel and Janet Ajzenstat, Heather Morris, Ian Hunter, Ian Gentles, Denyse O'Leary and others review the ideological issues and examine the medical implications and consequences of abortion. They also critique the legal decisions that made Canada unique in placing no restrictions on abortion—at a time when other countries are beginning to pull back from permissive abortion laws. Abortion and Social Justice Regardless of court decisions, in American states, in the U.S. Supreme Court—abortion remains one of the foremost medical, moral, and social questions of our time. Some hold that it is never valid, others that it may be performed to preserve the life of the mother, still others that it may be performed “on demand.” The contributors to Abortion and Social Justice —men and women, lawyers, teachers, physicians, nurses, a British MP, housewives—oppose it. But not in strident, unreasoned, polemical terms. They recognize the complexities of the question, respond to its nuances, realize that appeals to the emotions—pro or con—no longer are sufficient. They explore every aspect, from pregnancy as a hazard to the physical health of the mother through situations of rape and incest, from the legal case for the unborn child through the status of the unborn person in international law, the population problem through poverty and black genocide. In an epilogue, they examine in cogently reasoned detail the implications of the landmark January 1973 Supreme Court decision concerning abortion. The Right to Birth, Some Christian Views on Abortion Topics A Time for Compassion, A Call to Cherish and Protect Life In A Time for Compassion , Ron Lee Davis and James D. Denney call upon Christians to affirm the sanctity of life. The authors show how Christ's love compels us to alleviate people's spiritual and physical suffering, as well as defend the rights of the unborn. Through Scripture and example they guide you, as a pro-life advocate, in using the gifts that God has given you. A Time for Compassion, helps you to see that “whatever we do for the least of these, we do for Jesus Christ Himself.”
