Description

Using clear language and unconventional examples, this book argues that abortion is not merely a medical or religious issue, but one that goes to the very heart of our conception of human rights. It explains that the unborn are living and human beings, that all human beings have a right to life, and that denying the right to life of some weakens the right to life of all. Bohan supports his thesis by pointing to human rights treaties, the Declaration of Independence, and the words of such luminaries as Albert Schweitzer, Frederick Douglass, Pearl S. Buck, Elie Wiesel, and Martin Luther King Jr. He also examines the connection between abortion and the recent push to legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia. Bohan explains why the Greek myth of the House of Atreus is an apt metaphor for our abortion-minded society that shows the distinction between abortion and infanticide is arbitrary. While the Supreme Court holds that the 14th Amendment does not protect the lives of fetuses, at the time the Amendment was drafted, American scholars were comparing the mental capacity of Black people to that of a white fetus. Bohan also explores the the common aspects involved in the destruction of the unborn and the destruction of Jews by the Nazis: the roles of dehumanization, euphemism, the medical community, science, idealism, and humane killing, among others.

This book reads like a devotional for the pro-life. You are not alone! The author exposes the pro-abortionists' deceptive use of language, designed to conceal the horror of their acts. Just as eugenics appealed to the "modern," and just as the Nazis appealed to the necessity for "saving" the race by "relieving" the aged and disabled of their "suffering," the pro-abortionists hide behind "liberation" and the necessity of "saving" women from the birth of "unwanted" children, denying their very humanity. With that logic, can infanticide be far behind? Euthanasia is already here. If slavery was the great crusade of the 19th Century, abortion is the great crusade of this century and the next! Thank you, James Bohan.
