Choose Life: Answering Key Claims of Abortion Defenders with Compassion

“Choose Life is a thorough and articulate examination of the pro-life position by multiple highly qualified contributors. Their challenges to the pro-choice position are reasoned and thoughtful. Whether you're pro-life, pro-choice, or on the fence, this book has much to offer you.”

“Addressing theological, philosophical, legal, spiritual, and practical concerns, the contributors not only do not shy away from the difficult questions, but answer them with intelligence, care, and compassion. I can't think of another book with such breadth and depth that is also accessible to ordinary people who want to learn more about what it truly means to choose life.”

“The defense of human dignity and the sanctity of human life is one of the central and inescapable tasks of today's Christians. In that task, we need every hand on deck. In Choose Life, a first-rank team of Christian defenders of life addresses some of the most pressing questions of our day, and with conviction they counter some of the most influential arguments coming from abortion supporters. This book is timely—urgently so—and will be a great encouragement to Christians in the battle for life.”

“Choose Life is at once both informative and inspiring. The diverse backgrounds of the contributors give the book an impressive breadth and balance—biblical scholarship, philosophical reasoning, legal analysis, public policy, biology, medicine, counseling, personal reflection from experience—Choose Life has something for everyone! This book is a helpful resource that can be used both to equip and to persuade.”

“This is simply a splendid collection of essays. Every pro-lifer who wants to bear witness to the truth about the profound dignity of every human being and our obligations to support women as they bear new life will benefit from this book. No one can afford to sit on the sidelines, and Choose Life will help you defend life.”

“Jeanette Hagen Pifer and John K. Goodrich have done us the wonderful service of bringing together an outstanding collection of essays that address a vitally important theme. Choose Life delivers admirably on its subtitle's promise. Leading scholars from a range of disciplines answer the most pressing claims of abortion defenders—and do so with clarity, courage, and importantly, compassion. An excellent resource!”

“Choose Life is a thorough and sensitive look at abortion and the discussion between pro-choice and pro-life advocates. It considers the topic from every angle—philosophical, theological, legal, social, cultural, and, most importantly, from the standpoint of a woman's long-term experience. It drips with a sensitive tone, often lacking in this conversation. This book explains why being pro-life promotes our overall social well-being and deep care for the woman who faces a challenging, life-altering, deeply moral choice.”
