This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't worry-almost everyone is. Either we think the subject is too impolite, or we don't want to be branded an intolerant fanatic, or we worry that we won't represent the pro-life side well enough. You can overcome this fear, says Trent Horn in his new book, Persuasive Pro-Life-With a little knowledge and a few proven techniques, you can become a bold and effective apologist for the unborn. Drawing on over a decade as a pro-life activist Horn helps you cut through the diversions and obfuscations of the "pro-choice" side in order to accurately frame the legal, historical, and medical issues. Using vivid real-life examples, he drives home the critical importance of charity-no matter how loud the debate gets. For we must be not just warriors for the pro-life cause, he says, but ambassadors for it. Then Horn leads you on a guided tour of the many types of pro-abortion opponent or inquirer ("the pragmatist" "the skeptic," "the conflicted"), along with more true stories from the field. In each case he teaches you specific approaches-what to say, what not to say, and how to bear yourself-that are custom-tailored to every situation. The struggle over abortion has never been hotter, and the stakes could not be higher. Read Persuasive Pro-Life today and never again be afraid to speak up for the precious and fundamental right to life. Book jacket.

Download or read book The Making of Pro life Activists written by Ziad W. Munson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do people become activists for causes they care deeply about? Many people with similar backgrounds, for instance, fervently believe that abortion should be illegal, but only some of them join the pro-life movement. By delving into the lives and beliefs of activists and nonactivists alike, Ziad W. Munson is able to lucidly examine the differences between them. Through extensive interviews and detailed studies of pro-life organizations across the nation, Munson makes the startling discovery that many activists join up before they develop strong beliefs about abortion—in fact, some are even pro-choice prior to their mobilization. Therefore, Munson concludes, commitment to an issue is often a consequence rather than a cause of activism. The Making of Pro-life Activists provides a compelling new model of how people become activists while also offering a penetrating analysis of the complex relationship between religion, politics, and the pro-life movement. Policy makers, activists on both sides of the issue, and anyone seeking to understand how social movements take shape will find this book essential.

Download or read book Beyond Pro life and Pro choice written by Amery, Fran and published by Bristol University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the changing pluralities of contemporary abortion debate in Britain, this innovative and important book shows why it is necessary to move beyond an understanding of abortion politics as characterised in binary terms by ‘pro-choice’ versus ‘pro-life’. Amery traces the evolution of political and parliamentary discourses from the passage of the Abortion Act in the 1960s to the present day, and argues that the current provision of abortion in Britain rests on assumptions about medical authority over women’s reproductive decision-making which are unsustainable. She explores new arguments around sex-selective abortion, disability rights, pre-abortion counselling and the push for decriminalization, and radically reconceptualizes the debate to account for these new battlegrounds in abortion politics.

Download or read book Defending Life written by Francis J. Beckwith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-08-13 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defending Life is arguably the most comprehensive defense of the pro-life position on abortion - morally, legally, and politically - that has ever been published in an academic monograph. It offers a detailed and critical analysis of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey as well as arguments by those who defend a Rawlsian case for abortion-choice, such as J. J. Thomson. The author defends the substance view of persons as the view with the most explanatory power. The substance view entails that the unborn is a subject of moral rights from conception. While defending this view, the author responds to the arguments of thinkers such as Boonin, Dworkin, Stretton, Ford and Brody. He also critiques Thomson's famous violinist argument and its revisions by Boonin and McDonagh. Defending Life includes chapters critiquing arguments found in popular politics and the controversy over cloning and stem cell research.

Download or read book Consistently Pro Life written by Rob Arner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consistently Pro-Life is a book about killing. Specifically, it takes up the question of when and under what circumstances is it morally justifiable for a Christian to take human life. The murder of abortionist Dr. George Tiller on Pentecost Sunday 2009 reignited the national debate over abortion by focusing attention on the seeming hypocrisy of those who would kill to defend life. But many times, those who would condemn the killing of Dr. Tiller would readily justify the killing of human beings in other circumstances. This leads to the question: What basis do we have to judge a specific act of violence as morally good or ethically justifiable in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ? Rob Arner explores these issues and argues that the deliberate killing of any human being is incompatible with the moral life of a follower of Jesus. Readers will discover in the witness of the ancient Christian church an example of how modern Christians might consistently apply gospel precepts toward questions of the taking of human life. Through a new taxonomy that categorizes the ancient Christian witnesses according to individual issues such as abortion/infanticide, killing in war, and the bloody Roman "games," Consistently Pro-Life demonstrates that the early church consistently opposed the killing of human persons, and suggests that the discipline and moral clarity of the ancient Christians on issues of violence can show us a new way forward in a time of polarizing culture wars.

Download or read book Abortion Politics Mass Media and Social Movements in America written by Deana A. Rohlinger and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weaving together analyses of archival material, news coverage, and interviews conducted with journalists from mainstream and partisan outlets as well as with activists across the political spectrum, Deana A. Rohlinger reimagines how activists use a variety of mediums, sometimes simultaneously, to agitate for - and against - legal abortion. Rohlinger's in-depth portraits of four groups - the National Right to Life Committee, Planned Parenthood, the National Organization for Women, and Concerned Women for America - illuminates when groups use media and why they might choose to avoid media attention altogether. Rohlinger expertly reveals why some activist groups are more desperate than others to attract media attention and sheds light on what this means for policy making and legal abortion in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Pro Life written by Jim Harrison and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The choice is yours: will you choose life or will you choose death? When it comes to determining your stance on the abortion debate, this simple question exhibits your belief and understanding of what it means to let an unborn child live or die. Author Jim Harrison is the happy father of two adult sons and grandfather of four grandchildren, so he believes in the preciousness of life and giving a child a chance. His new nonfiction book, Pro-Life: Saving the Lives of Unborn Children, Making Possible Their Descendants, and Helping Their Parents, gives readers a comprehensive glimpse into conception, pregnancy and how abortion changes the whole biological process. Jim begins his argument for pro-life by detailing the intricate steps of procreation, from the conception between an egg and a sperm to the milestones an unborn baby reaches at different points in pregnancy: the first time practicing breathing, the ability to listen, learn and remember, the preparation for being delivered. However, Jim also makes sure to educate readers, men and women, on the unsettling procedures performed under the umbrella of abortion; procedures that are more inhumane and violent than an unsuspecting mother-to-be might believe. Abortion also doesn't end when the child is removed, but lasts with the former mother through medical complications and internal struggles with her choice. Included in Pro-Life are discussion points about descendants from an aborted child that will never be born, and discoveries/achievements never made, as well as the lack of babies to be adopted by countless parents ready to begin their families. The hope is that fathers and mothers will use the resources and knowledge within the book to make the life-securing decision to give their children continued life, and maybe adopt them to prospective parents ready to welcome them home. As stated earlier, the choice is yours to make; to Jim, you can't know what God has chosen for your child to achieve if not given life.
