Summary |
This provocative book takes a critical look at what is increasingly viewed as the central political issue for Catholics--abortion. From pro-choice politicians being denied communion to Democrats being called "the party of death," for some of the most vocalCatholic leaders, the abortion issue often trumps all others. The author, a practicing Catholic who is against abortion in principle, believes the Church is on the wrong course with this issue, with grievous results for the Church and American society more broadly. He gives a brief history of abortion legislation, then explores the issue from. |
